EurO Day 7 - Skiing in July

I scooted off to work and the family went to explore Fort St Pieter and the caves.  I am sure the kids were only mildly excited but the all came back with very positive reviews of the experience.

After I got home from work we decide to hit the slopes !  Well at least the boys did - as the girls think skiing in the winter is a marginal idea and a non-starter in the summer.  So they wen out to hit a small concert festival in town.  The Netherlands is a pretty flat country but they managed to build an indoor ski slope on one of the small hills.  It has a nice 6 person chairlift that is slower than a DMV worker on a Monday.  We were thoroughly unprepared from a clothing standpoint - as it is a crisp 25 degrees on the hill and we packed for summer.  The crowds were light and we had a nice time for 2 hours before our hands got numb and we decided we had mastered the 2 slopes.

After returning home - the girls had texted that one of bands was playing a bunch of American 80's rock - so Jake and I headed down to check it out.  We made it in time to catch some good Dutch Survivor and AC/DC before they transitioned back to more local tunes.
