We went to visit some family in Holland and decided to visit Amsterdam while we were in the area... En route... Caden shows how delighted he is at having a chocolate tool to eat from Bruges!
I want to ride my bicycle... I want to ride my biiike....
In Amsterdam, Miles appreciates the street sculptures.
We enjoyed walking around the streets of The Dam, soaking up the atmosphere and chatting.. especially the old town, my personal favourite. It's very beautiful and so peaceful!
We considered going into the Anne Frank museum as we had read some of the book and watched an English film adaptation on You Tube but we saw the queue and the kids said No!
Miles attempts to break the world record for largest cheese eaten in one go!
Maybe he needs to try a smaller size?
We had green juices each!
We were staying at one point in Southern Holland near the hospital where my Father in Law was recovering (part of the reason for our visit) and the place we stayed at had the MOST amazing playground, one of the best i've seen. The whole stay was made worthwhile by this playground and woodland which we went mushroom hunting around.
Miles helped me to identify mushrooms!
We were staying near the Belgian enclaves but we were still suprised to see American helicopters... 'It's a chinook, Mum' said Caden.
I had to take this to make Jan jealous... we ate a LOAD of kibbeling... it's de beste!
We are a bit jumbled up, this is the boys outside Anne Frank's house.
A Cow Museum! Complete with Cow face!
Duckies. Amsterdam is ace for this... just Window shopping fun!
The kids wanted to go back to Ripley's again but when we got there and saw the entrance fee, we (I) opted for other choices, since we have already been two years before.
Jan and Miles looking cool in Utrecht! We went all over the place together!
We saw some great figures at Utrecht cinema!
These are some of the mushrooms we found on our nature walk at the place we stayed....
Fly agaric... et al.
