Kaag Week

This weekend was the middle of Warmond's Kaag Week. The Kaag is the lake next to Warmond, and Kaag Week is a celebration here that's full of games, food/drink, and a few strange things, like a huge soap suds party in the park. Obviously Nicholas and Morgan have thrown themselves into local culture...


We're spending more time sailing with the great weather and steady winds.


And also as part of Kaag Week one of the local farmers opened his windmill for locals to explore. We climbed up into the top to see how it all works. The first floor has a small room for keeping warm and the wood burning stove exhausts into the top of the windmill's interior to help keep the wood gears dry. Mo wasn't a huge fan of climbing so high, so it was nice to be back on solid ground.


Some canal cruising was also part of the weekend...


And we found our way to meet Barbara's uncle/aunt, Frans and Thera at their boat, where we enjoyed hours of play...





Frans serves up a good time...


... and we ended the day with a BBQ back in Warmond with Jan and Sabine.


We really had a great day on Sunday with an all-day visit with some old friends from Tokyo who now live here--Jelle and Monique.


Just as we wound down the weekend, Nicholas and Morgan did the dishes trying to earn a few extra Euros from chores to help pay for gifts and the like.
