Simon's strip

Simon has a beach, it is called The Strip ('De Strook') at the Loosdrechtse Plassen, it is a beach strip along the lake. It is beautiful on this Summer's day on the Whit Sunday long weekend. I am always up early, and so is Simon, so by the time we get to the beach, it is still empty.

We run up and down and play 'splash'. And scoop sand in our buckets.

It is quite exciting to get into deeper water. I try it. Wow. And then suddenly! Oops, fell. I cry from disappointment. Luckily we have two dry changes!! Simon is a bit more careful: he stops at the crucial depth, where cold feels really cold!!

I am a bit jealous because mama sings my rainbow song to Alex to get him to sleep. But then Simon and I help singing and that is fun.
