I'm Back!!

This some Muscari Latifolium at the Keukenhof Gardens. I went there twice, lots of nice pictures and way to many people.












Here is Carl and I in North Holland at one of the biggest bulb growers in Holland. They have over 450 acres of bulbs planted, 200 acres alone are Hyacinths. We buy quite a few varieties from them, pretty amazing to see so much of one flower.











I thought these dudes were sweet! Check out Mr. Van Halen with the huge guitar.














Another picture inside Keukenhof (Kitchen Garden) pretty awesome, it was probably the best week to visit, every person you passed by was speaking a different language, LOTS of Germans!!!










This is just around the corner from the Van Noort warehouse, rode here on my bike and took a few pics.

All in all it was a good trip, it was way more work and very little fun time. It's not quite the same as going with a contingent of Colyn's, ie..... no fighting and less drinking.

Glad to be home.

Family Camp and You

Hi y'all - how does the first week/weekend in August sound for family camp? This works best for us. We cannot do it in July. I need to know soon, so if everyone can give this some thought and put there thoughts on the blog that would be great!

Spring Time!

Anna went on a preschool field trip last week to a local farm.

Here are a few shots:

Anna and a baby bunny.

Thomas and a kid.

Anna strangling Thomas.

We are all well . . . Henk is in Holland for the VanVoorts at the moment. Whenever I get a taste of the single-parent life, it really gives me huge respect for single mums! Life is quite busy with my new job, but we have finally figured out childcare and so that is a big relief.

Does anyone know the Colyn camping dates this year?? We are determined to make it this year. Hope you all enjoyed the beautiful day today:)

late and early

Mitzie and Ella are the birthday girls this week! Happy birthday!!!!!!!!! Anyone have some good shots?
