Ajax at adidas!

On Friday, Bas got to enjoy one of the really special perks of working at Adidas.   His favorite football team, Ajax from Amsterdam, was in town for a friendly match with FC Nuremberg.  Since they are sponsored by Adidas, they came into the headquarters on Friday and used the pitch there for their pre-game day training session.  Bas was one of a few employees selected to go out on the field while the players were practicing and was able to take shots at the goal with one of the Ajax goalies!  I got Luna dressed up in her jersey of course, too!




Whoa look at these moves!
