Dutch kids

June 24

Today I slept in until 9am because I had a late night. When we were going across the road into the park we saw some Dutch kids that wanted to play soccer with us. Once we finished playing soccer we took some photos. One of them is now my friend. Her name is Marlyon. There was a boy called Rizag. They are 11 years old and in year 8. Next year they go to high school. They were on a school excursion. In 2 weeks they finish school for summer holidays.

Guess what! They don't have to wear school uniforms!

Rizag was good at playing soccer. Can I tell you a fact about them? They don't know Aussie Rules football.

It is about 9.15 pm right now and it is still light! The sun doesn't go down until 10.30 pm. It comes up at 6.15 am.

I bought some "clickers" (shoes) with wheels on the bottom. You have to touch the button to make the shoes light up. Everytime you step the shoe on the ground it will light up.

We went to a pizza place for dinner. We beat the waiter in footy with our soccer ball. Every time Ben kicked it over my head, it hit the van behind me and made a loud noise. Mum & Dad thought it would damage the van.

We went into a church on the way home. There were candles all around Mary & Jesus.
