Last weekend

in #blog6 years ago

I think I still had some pictures to share!

Last weekend, we went out for dinner on saturday, just the two of us. Then on sunday, we went to the amusement park with my sisters in law and our little nephew. Let's start with saturday!

I had found a restaurant I wanted to try, but once we got into town and found the restaurant, it was full inside and I didn't want to sit outside in other people's smoke. So, after standing in the town square, looking a little lost, we decided to try the restaurant on the other side of the street. Yes, there was room inside!

We felt a little out of place, because everyone in there was dressed very nicely, while we... were not. Oh well, who cares anyway.

Hubby went for the day special, which was very delicious fish, while I went for the spareribs!

They were delicious, though they can't beat the ribs you can order in this country from Sparerib Express, but hey, they are focussed on spareribs only, so you can expect perfect ribs from there, right?

I decided to be smart about things and not eat until I couldn't eat anymore, which would result in me feeling crappy and not enjoying the after-meal time. So I asked for a doggybag for the ribs I couldn't finish. I was sad I wasn't able to have dessert, though the smart side of me told me it was super expensive anyway. 8 Euros per dessert. I can buy a super delicious chocolate cake in the grocery store for 5! So I promised myself I was allowed to do that instead.

I haven't so far.

Here's a picture I took in town after dinner.

We took a little detour going back to the car, because I wanted to show one of the shops to hubby. It meant walking back through this cute little street filled with flowers!

The next day, my sisters in law came to pick us up for a day at the amusement park close by. Close by as in, it's a 5 minute drive from here to there. So we have season passes for three of us and our nephew is young enough to be allowed in free of charge.

We first went for a ride in my favorite roller coaster and then got into a 'garden tour', where you just drive around slowly in cars.

(Great for hatching Pokemon Go eggs!)

One of my sisters in law's goal of the day was to get her sister to ride in a scary roller coaster. We picked one, but the lines were too long, so we decided to skip it. My other sister in law was quite happy to dodge the bullet there. It wouldn't last though...

A few of us played Pokemon Go a little during our time there. We picked some rides our little nephew could go into and we picked some rides for the grown ups to enjoy. There was always one of us not wanting to go in a particular ride to stay with our nephew.

The park was already set up for the Halloween event which starts this week, so I had to take this picture:

A throne of skeletons!

We had tiny pancakes (poffertjes) for lunch and got into a water ride at some point. Luckily this time, we didn't get very wet! Nephew had a great time in this ride and was sad to hear we wouldn't go again. The lines were just too long.

For our last ride, we went to my favorite roller coaster again. My sister in law wouldn't let her sister get out of this one! So the three of us lined up. Feeling extra evil that day, my sister in law let her sister walk in front through the scary halls towards the roller coaster, to make sure she would get extra jumpy before getting into the roller coaster.

We all survived the ride and after it, we headed back home.

It was a nice weekend filled with fun (and Pokemon Go)!

Hope you all had a good weekend too!

Hehe I wouldn't allow someone to get me on a scary roller coaster. Mind you, I used to be able to handle all sorts, back in the day. Not anymore lol

Those ribs look delicious. I want ribs now, but I can't eat too much solid food just yet. I got a weird intestinal bug, so I have to eat rice and just a few fruits before I can have a big meal again. But now I'm craving ribs, so once I'm able to eat a full meal again, guess what's on the menu?

Those are some cute pictures. That path looks adorable. That throne though, eek. Though, sitting on it must make a person feel pretty badass ;)

Ooh no! How are you feeling now? I hope you get to sate your craving of ribs soon (sorry for causing it)!

I thought the throne was pretty awesome and figured I should get it on picture before the event actually begins :D

Hehe it's all right. I'm eating fuller meals now, though some symptoms are persisting a bit. It's passing and hopefully this is all it is. I should be able to have ribs soon 😁 And it gives Frank a good meal idea so he doesn't have to worry about what to cook.

Sounds like a fun, family weekend @playfulfoodie.

Those ribs look very good and I would need a doggy bad for them too.

Can you hear th sound of the Amusement Park from where you live or is it too far away?

That's too far away luckily. The only times we've heard it so far was when there was an event with music, but they close at 11 during those times, so it's not that bad (or loud). I don't know if there's any music for the Halloween event though, I guess I'll notice that these weekends :-)

Nice photos, though the throne is a bit nuts... Lol

Thanks!

though the throne is a bit nuts... Lol

Isn't it? I wonder what exactly they will do with it during the Halloween event :D

Omg this post is so cute, I absolutely love it!

I also loved the pictures you took, they look like if they were taken by professional photographer!

Really really liked it!

Aww thank you for the kind words @volderhein!
