More Martha!

We had another visit from Aunt Martha! She arrived on Friday night, just in time for stories from her adoring Elena, see....


Saturday was a little drippy, but we made it to the market where Martha loaded up on Lonnike kaas and we picked up all sorts of goodies. We got home, but away the groceries and decided that everyone should head out for a little shopping. Esprit was just the ticket and we found something for everyone (except elena who was mostly thrilled to share a dressing room with Martha). We were all compeletly pooped! Everyone took a nap! Then we learned that Henri (who was suppose to fly in that afternoon to spend Sunday with us) had train trouble (unheard of in Switzerland!) and missed his flight. The good news was were able to enjoy our indian food for dinner while making french jokes with no guilt! We all sacked out, still tired, even with naps. This morning we had a huge pancake breakfast and then took Mart on the allergy plus bike ride special through the lush polders . After a quick lunch, she had to head off to Amsterdam to meet up with Henri. We were very sad to see her go...we are starting to have our 'lasts' feelings - the last time Mart will visit us in Utrecht..... :(

But here are some fun pictures to remember the trip by....

Elena and Mart build the train set.


This is a game called 'juggling' where they tried to keep all the balloons in the air.
