Although the first half of the trip was great, we questioned the wisdom in vacationing in mid April, especially in a place as windy as Holland. At the Keukenhof we remembered why we planned it for when we did, and had no regrets.
7 million flower bulbs in bloom. Simply amazing.
"Who can find the best smelling flower?" A game that could have kept us busy all day.
Looking up, it was easy to imagine where Van Gogh got his inspiration for his "Almond Blossom"
The Lilly pads were our favorite. Andrew liked doing something more dangerous than smelling flowers.
After watching our family attempt about 10 family portraits with the tripod and self-timer, onlookers must have been amused. After about 20, they just felt sorry for us and offered to make noises and push the button so our kids would look at the camera. Almost got everybody (except will) looking this time (center picture).
Aalsmeer and Keukenhof in the same day make for a lot of flowers (and a lot of photos) (if you are really interested in actually seeing these photos, you can click on them a couple times to make larger).
We've been in Europe since 2007 and have loved the many adventures Switzerland, and now England, have brought us. However our greatest adventures come from raising our four amazing kiddos.
