Easter break is officially over now and it’s back to school. I’m really happy I got 2 weeks off, because I really needed a break from the Dutch lessons and just the stress from schoolwork in general. This was the most active easter I have had in years.
I haven’t had a lot of easter plans since I was younger. When I was growing up me and my family sometimes went up to the mountains for some skiing, but when we got older we lost interest plus my parents were tired of hearing me and my sister aruge all the time. The last times we went they blamed me forruining the trip because I would want to talk to other people and not be spending ever hour with them. After a while we just stopped going all together.
For the past years I have only been sitting at home with my family without anything really planned. Most of our easter celebreation is about food. My parents would always make a special easter meal where we would usually have lamb with some side dishes. Last year we had an entire lamb leg. I don’t really mind since I really love my moms cooking, but this year I acutally had plans.
This years plans only happened during weekends since I was the only one who had the week off. Nathan only got one day of because it was a public holiday.
The first thing we did was the Kermis. Not the one I wrote about in another post but a proper one. This one had HUGE vans with bunch of attractions, one of them being a Casino. I got to try “Coin Pusher” for the first time. We didn’t win anything big, but we did gather a lot of points which we can use for next time they are in town. I also did the thing where you throw a ball and try to knock down a tower of empty cans. There I won one of them Octopus that you is happy on one side and then you can fold it and it’s angry on the other side. Last one was shooting with a rifle. Here I didn’t win anything since my aim was too bad.
The weekend after that we went to the convention “Made in Asia”. That’s by far my favourite out of all the things we did. It was so hug and so much to see. I’m looking forward to returning again next year to see EVERYTHING!
For our last weekend we tried to visit another Kermis, but as you may have red from my last post that one was a huge dissepointment compared to the first one, but Nathan and I was able to make a great day out of it regardless.
In conclusion it was a really fun Easter. Even though I wasn’t able to enjoy my mothers easter dinner because of the move I was still able to talk to them and make sure they were doing alright, and maybe next year I’ll be able to visit them and spend some time with them.
