friday night surprise

a couple weeks ago, joel had the idea to go on a spring-sunset-ride with the kids. we do not own a car but we are mobility members (the equivalent to zip car in the usa), this opened up a whole lot of fun choosing of just the right car. of course it had to be a sporty cabriolet....
the kids didn't know of the plan and elias first didn't catch the spirit of excitement when joel wanted to get going on an "adventure", right after dinner. he had all kinds of interventions, for so many reasons he felt like he didn't want to go to the woods, he didn't want to put on a long sleeve sweater, he didn't want to ride the bike up the hill, he didn't... o well i could go on. naomi was the first to spot the car in the drive way and was very curious about "who is visiting" as she didn't know the car. the boys then were quick to spot the "mobility" sticker and realized what was up.


roof back and up into to sunset...


yeah!
it was exciting and of course the next time it has to be a bigger car, in order to accommodate thea and me as well...
