...do as they do and eat as they eat. We found some chocolate sprinkles, strop waffles, liverwurst, black licorice and other nastalgic treats. No Wilhemina peppermints though, doggonit.
We....
... stopped to smell the tulips.
... tried on some wooden shoes.
... played in the water. Er, the kids did. Kev and I stayed dry and warm.
... introduced our children to traditional dutch treats (sprinkles! strop-waffles!).
... rode bikes! Well, Eli did anyway.
... tried out the dutch hairdo. I saw this on several women and decided to try it myself.
... walked / biked the canals in towns and country.
... gawked at windmills.
It was a great weekend (but a loooooong drive). On a side note, Mary has finally learned to steer her little car AND is now sleeping in a toddler bed from a friend. She loves it and is doing great. Only diapers are holding her to her babyhood, now, and I don't know when we'll take that on! Travelling makes potty-training tough and although she seems to understand, she's not very interested. My deadline is January when she starts in the Kindergarden.

Love all the photos. Reminded me of David and I's time in Holland. Strop waffles, yum! David found that Trader Joe's sells them so we still are enjoying that treat. Those tulips are amazing & so tall, we visited Botanic Gardens last weekend & the tulips aren't that great this year, too much cold weather in the last month. I love Mary's new bed & she seems so proud of herself. LOL, Janelle
