7-30-10 Friday After doing a little shopping and spending a relaxing morning, we took the kids for a picnic in Gouda at a park. They had a play ground in one area, and a soccer field in the other. The littler kids had a great time playing in the playground area, and I played soccer with Brad, Ian, Brecken. We had a lot of fun. After the picnic and park, we took the kids to downtown Gouda and showed them some of the old ships, the townhall, the town square and some of the neat buildings in Gouda.
