To the Beach!

We had to give up on waiting for a sunny day to the beach and went on Sunday despite the heavy wind off the North Sea.  It didn’t stop us from having fun!

Aunt Elizabeth Helping us Dig

Bella got right to work on a giant hole.  Aunt Elizabeth helped William dig.  Henry made a trap for sea foam close to the water.  There was a lot of sea foam because of the weeks of wind we’ve had.

Deep Holes

Naturally all that digging made us hungry so we introduced Bella and Aunt Elizabeth to our favorite “strand pavilioen”, or restaurant built right on the beach.   There’s a whole row of restaurants that sprang up on the sand in May.  They’ll be packed away for the winter in late September.  We like the Bora Bora because it’s colorful, the kitchen is in an old school bus and the food’s good.

Lunching at the Bora Bora

After lunch we walked along the year-round boulevard and had a ride on the beautiful antique carousel.
