We spent the weekend with Ivo’s mother’s family in Beekse Bergen (link in Dutch). Ivo’s mother is one of 11 children (good Catholics), so even getting over half of her siblings and their partners and offspring together meant over 30 people together for the weekend. Here’s everyone except our little family, who missed the photo.
The nice thing about so many relatives around was all the babysitters. We could give Liam to an aunt in the morning and go back to sleep.
The three little cousins, off to the zoo.
Liam, unlike his mother, is very good at staying hydrated.

Liam deciding what to make of an uncle.
There was karaoke, which was quite a lot of fun. Ivo surprised a bunch of people by his dancing, which is somewhat energetic. He seems so serious, and then…
I surprised a lot of people by knowing ALL the words to Meatloaf’s Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
Niek and Mika admiring Liam’s Robeez.
And this is the where we were staying.
It was a gezellig weekend and I enjoyed meeting more of Ivo’s family, who were a lot of fun.
