♥ Missed me?? ♥~

It's more then 2 weeks that I posted......

Reason???

I've been on vacation too Tunesia =)))) in Africa

We came back last Thursday night and went a away on a weekend again on Friday morning.

So we kept our selfs busy.

But lets go back too the BIG vacation.

So sorry then I didn't say anything about it..

I will try and make up for that with al kinds of lovely photo's and storys.

I only have 1 poblem. ;(

When I put the pictures from my camera on my laptop, a lot of beautifull pictures went lost.

I'm so mad about that

We went away on Saterday morning at 7.00 with the airplane.

Most of you will know I'm very afraid of flying.

But with 2 kids, you don't have time to think about yourself....hihihihihi :))))))

For me it was so COOL to go to AFRICA.. never thought I could go there

The weather was wonderfull about 24 degrees, sunny, a bit windy at the coast

In the night is was cold, so the outside pool was cold also but thankfully there was a inside pool.

(pic's of the outsie pool I lost)

On the 4th day we went to a Animal parc, the nr two of Tunesia.

It was a very beautifull parc, to bad I don't have any film of picture of that again

I'm so so so mad... grrrrrrr

Pictures I found on the web, in that parc where so many beautifull different tigers, loved them

On the 6th day, we went to a dinner/show.

We saw a traditional wediing, and after dinner we got a show  outside with lasers over the last 3000 years of Tunesia, It was really awesome.

So beautifull.

The next day we went on a camel trip

From the beginning we booked this vacation, I told DH I wanted to do this.. 

I thought it would be so cool.. and it was.

It was such a great experience, First it was Dh and Noah, and Me and Kira on a camel, after a stop, Noah and Kira wanted on the donkey.

Our guide, told me to go with Dh on a camel and she would stay with the kids, we all had so much fun.

Also we coulf give the camel a big kiss.. hihi

Put a piece of cactus in your mouth and then give it too the camel..

Noah went first and last, he loved it so much.

Al who didn't had a hat got hatcloth, so I bought one.

Aren't I pretty =)))))))))))

The camel also is crazy about Coca Cola

Can you see it?

He gets the bottle with his mouth and then puts it up so he can drinks it empty, after that he drops it from his mouth.. it was so cool too see.

After that there also was a problem..

As Noah was allergic for most animals, we hoped it would went well..

I don't think the camel was a problem, but when he got on the donkey, the problem started..

We noah after a allergic reaction, his asthma will come up, and it did. 

2 days later on Sunday he was so so sick.. poor little boy, after he got eat a bit he wante dto play and play, so we thought maybe he could go with us also too the city, beceause when he was playing he looked fine.In one of the stores he throw up, a men brought us to a hospital, after he fainted a few times, he got some medican from the doctor

And in the evening we should be begter and he was.

the day's after that we didn't do nothing then swim and rest to hope that Noah was all better to fly back.. and he did.

The whole week we swim the in inside swimming pool.

A few times we went to the beach

also here lost a lot of wonderfull pictures... this is all I still have.

Every day there was a mini club twice and in the evening a mini disco.

Noah loved it so much.. and the girl of the animation, he was in love with.

 I see I;m working already a few hours on this post..

I have shown you the most I could show.

The rest is all gone, and I hate it so much..

But can't help it......

We had a wonderfull vacation..

I wanne go back.. take new pictures and enjoy the weather, her the wetaher is bad.. rain cold.. =((((

Have great work week..

I need to work in the morning..

Hugsss

My sweet friend Nia, had a Margeret Sherry Lovers Blog.

She organizes al kinds of great exchanges.

For Easter I thought I will try and enter as well.

But still my partner didn't let know if she send something too me.

Didn't replyed on mails, nothing

On that blog there is a rule.

"Nobody will stay's with empty hands"

So Nia asked if there where girls who wanted to send me pixie gifts ( so does they call them).

 

Ow my, what beautifull packages did I got.

 The first package came from Angèle (no blog)

(I'm just looking for the pic I made off all what she send, but it's gone????)

She send me a beautifull white hearts shape card holder.

Made 2 beautifull cards, with cute patterns of Margaret Sherry, one stitched and one of paper.

Then cute heart stickers, that I love so much, she used them with the mouse, the inside heart you can fold open.

♥ ♥ ♥

Dear Angèle, thank you so much my dear for sending me pixie dust ♥

Then came a package from France, from sweet Valérie

Valérie makes the most beautifull needle-books.

So I asked her if she could make me one for my birthday (It's in a few months.. lol)

But as a suprise she made me one now.

Some of you may seen it, but she gave me a nickname Petite Anne (France for Annette)

I'm in love with that name, we use it all the time.

I use it every day that cute cute needle-book.

And for the first time I don't loose my needles anymore..

♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you much dear Valérie for the pixie dust

There are more then 10 colors..

I orderes a few but still haven't decided which one to use.

For May, I will not make any goals.

The kids are having a two weeks vaction, and I notice, that I;m more doing in and around the house, riding our bikes in to the polder an dto the dike..
