Family Weekend - Oma turned 85

A teaser for my family

My oma turned 85 5 weekends ago. She wanted to celebrate by treating the entire family to a weekend away. It sure was a good time. We went out for walks, rested, went bike riding, ate delicious food, swam, spend time in the sauna and so forth. Our family isn't together a whole lot so I quite enjoyed this outing. Of course I had to be the photographer and I am still working on a photo book for oma. The weekend turned out more important than we realized, it was our last time with Kees.

This is where we stayed


Of course the weekend started with cake. My sister and I decided to be creative and suprise oma with home made cakes. This one is my sisters. She just started her business DekoFun. She's amazing at it, as you can see...



This is the one I made


After coffee and cake we had a long walk in the woods

Time for dinner and good wine




The next day we went for a long bike ride, it was raining, very Dutch like. But we still had fun.




Silly uncle, he really is nice


Saturday night was a special dinner night!

And for the kids there was a pool to enjoy, I jumped in once but had more fun in the sauna

  5. Those are all such lovely photos. I don't usually like the foreground in focus with the subject bokeh - but in the case of the swimming pool photo it really works. Those are wonderfully beautiful cakes as well. You have some talent in your family.
