Its hot, humid, and the pollen is terrible! We don't have A/C (no one does!) and its stinking hot out. For a little relief, and a little fun we piled into the car and drove an hour to the beach. A new beach, this one was in the Hague, its called Scheveningen. It had sand, the ocean and lots of people. (apparently we were not the only ones with the idea to cool off!) It was interesting, as most places had proven to be over here. People all over the world are so different and culture to culture they just have different cares, or lack there of cares. Smoking, drinking, lack of any clothing, sitting right next to others on an open beach, and plenty more. The beaches here, so far, seem to be lined with "beach clubs" and bars and tons of little snack shacks. Its like Newport, OR on steroids times a million. I can not even explain it. Very different, but kinda fun to experience and not bad when you need a snack, want to walk and explore.
Here are some pictures from the fun day
(Clockwise) kids playing, me and the kids, playing in the water and flying the kite!
There was a neat sculpture garden, so of course had to take some pictures with our favorites. We even rode the carousel.
The kids and me with the very dutch sculpture of the the man eating a herring....doesn't get more dutch than that!
This building is so neat looking...who would expect to see it at a beach. very European. :)
Bret and the kids jumping in the waves.
The kids enjoying the water...they were just cackling. it was priceless. I seriously hope they love each other and stay friends like this forever.
