Day 5: Saturday: Meeting The Family

haha.. so saturday was a day when all the vanderlinde family got together at our place.. that is my oma's whole family.. there were about 50 of them; all her brothers and sisters and maybe half of their kids(so my mom's cousins) had to memorize a lot of names :) but it was fun... you wouldn't think so, but they are so friendly and welcoming.. the aunts kicked us out of the kitchen to to the dishes, and they all greet you like they've known you forever; it was great... played the biggest game of shuffle board ever.. there were like 25 people playing and they just kept getting added to the scoreboard.. so many stories and things we have to do.. everyone says we have to visit them, or go here and there, but we definitely don't have enough time to do it all..
so overall it was a great day and we all had lots of fun:)

oh.. on friday, me and erika decided to walk to the nearest town.. we were gonna have supper there with my moms aunt and uncle.. they gave us directions and we started on our way.. an hour later, we finally reach the town.. they were all like "where were you?!?!?" haha apparently it was only supposed to be a 10-15 minute walk.. we walked all the way out of town, through the next town and then back into the town.. huh... looong walk... they were all sitting down ready for supper but couldn't start without us :P it was an adventure for sure...
