Just across the street is a wonderful little park. I took Adelaide and Henry over there to play. Some other kids were digging a big hole in the sand. Adelaide wanted to help. So, she asked me to use Google translate to tell her how to ask “Can I help you dig?”
Thus, our first conversation in Dutch began: “Kan ik je helpen graven?”
Boy: “Ja”
Adelaide: “Where”
Boy: “Daar” (“There”, followed by some pointing)
And just like that, the Dutch conversation was over. It turns out the boy spoke English, so they talked in English the rest of the afternoon.

This is wonderful to read. I’m so glad you’re all safely home and under one roof. I hope you all have a grand adventure this year. with love to all, Darleen
