Today we have a big party because we celebrate Alex’ third birthday.
Alex asked for one strange thing: His daddy dressed up as a clown. Oh well, if it makes him happy I’ll be happy to dress up for him.

Finally we have achived it. A complete family photo!
Alex likes picking lemons and this has resulted in a very big amount of fruit. To bad the taste is so sour. Still, once mixed with water and some sugar the taste is quite nice.
The recipy is simple:
Exactly 10 years ago it all started with my first blog post. In 10 years a lot has happened and the most surprising was that each new highlight was more impressive that its predecessor.
What’s next? Will this trend of increasingly big highlights continue or not? What ever happens I’m happy to wait and see.
After the first set of colored coins we were quickly introduced to a new phenomenon. Semi fake colored coins. Actually quite logical because painting coins is cheap and the royal Dutch mint charges a lot for a painted coin. In addition the number of painted coins is very low and they are sold out very fast.
This time the KNM is warning us about ‘fake’ coins with the double heads (former queen and current king). Actually the coins are not fake, they are just normal/legal coins, which everyone is allowed to paint. It seems that to only way to distinguish a fake from a real painted coin is by looking at the packaging.
Today it is the day of geology. I have no geological background, but that does not matter. I know a few geologists and that is enough. This year we’ll go on a nice field trip. Interesting facts, a nice walk, a pick-nick and for sure some sunshine.
Our first cache is finally live! Together with the Ammers we worked hard. Thought of routes, riddles, placing rubber duckies at child-friendly places, making pictures, writing nice descriptions, recording coordinates, asking permission. All for a very nice box filled to the rim with rubber duckies.
The result is a fantastic walk/search through a nice green part of the randstad. Searching brightly colored duckies and in the end finding a huge box filled with rubber ducks.
Sun, swimming pool and sunblock.
A nice beer for dad and a nice old Pinkpop hat for Alex. Playing with a little ball and relaxing. Life’s good.
