We are in Holland at a beautiful house just minutes from the beach. We have been here for a few days. We decided to do a vacation here so the girls could go to a gymnastics camp near Amsterdam. We found out a few weeks ago that A2 has a stress fracture in her back. She will still be going to camp, but she cannot do most things. She goes back to the doctor on the 18 of August and we hope that things are healed and she can go back to gymnastics. Please pray that she has healed and that she can go back to gymnastics. There is a chance that she may not be able to do gymnastics.
Well back to the trip.
We left Norway on the 17th to catch a ferry to Denmark. The trip to the ferry took 3 hours and the ferry ride took another 3 hours. we arrived in Denmark at 8pm and started driving to Holland. We stopped just inside Germany near Hamburg and slept for a few hours. Then we ate some breakfast and started driving again. We had to cross the ocean on a really long dike (man made earth barrier to the sea). We were almost across and the truck ran out of gas. It is older and we think the sensor is bad, because it said we still had fuel. Lesson learned don't let it go below a 1/4 of a tank. Hubby had to walk to get gas cans and fuel. He got a ride to the station on a moped, but had to walk back with to cans of gas.
We seem to have some interesting trips. A few years ago we had a tire blow up. You would think we would be prepared for these things.
So I am going to share some pictures of the waiting. That is all the pictures that I have now. We have enjoyed the beach and just relaxing.

I hope that if you went on vacation that you had a great one. I hope to post every other day or so. We are visiting France next week. Paris here we come.
