I Can

One week on vacation and it feels unreal as I have to settle into a new routine. Our little Montessori students had their graduation day on Monday morning. Crafts were made by all and displayed in the following manner.

Game stations were everywhere on the lawn as children played instead of studying before they had a nice lunch. Parents brought over fresh leafy salads to be made just before serving along with fruits. Children had mini hamburgers while adults were served chicken pizzas, plain pizzas, couscous salad, bean salads and ice cream for everyone. Then everyone could head home at 2:00. It was then time for us to sit down and enjoy a glass of cooler or beer. Here are more pictures of that playday.And while the children have had their fun to play and enjoy themselves, I on the other hand started a new program for the summer with a friend.











Now this is our first early morning try 7:30 that is, of Nordic walking. Yes. We walk with poles and believe me, we got asked where we left our skis. Doesn't matter. With this exercise we burn an average of 20% more calories than during a regular walk and get all the benefits of an upper body workout, with less stress on the knees. Tuesdays and Thursdays are reserved for aqua fitness.

Also during my first week of vacation my friend and I went strawberry picking and of course, we ate some as well. I ate one for Nara as she used to come with me for this ritual.

It's time again to take Osker for another walk. The camera is not far anymore since you never know what one can see during just a simple, leisurely walk.
