Fields of tulips and baby lambs, stroop waffles and pannekoeken, windmills in the distance and the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam up close...if you haven't been to Holland yet, now is your chance! Spring is a wonderful time to go and we enjoyed our weekend there with old friends. Frunty had fun too and ate a falafel at one of our favourite places near the flower market. We went to the Albert Cuyp Market for a king size, freshly made stroop which was just too delicious. Frunty also liked riding the trams, visiting a farm with lots of baby chicks and other animals and playing with Dutch children all weekend. We visited two sets of friends, one family with two kids and the other with four. Frunty was the baby in both groups but played so well with the others. They spoke to him in Dutch and he somehow spoke back! It was neat to watch. Mowgli enjoyed his spa weekend at chez K and E where he was treated royally. On the way home last night, we stopped in Leiden, a beautiful university town. We enjoyed Dutch pancakes! In the back of our car we brought home a huge bouquet of daffodils. The flowers there are out of this world. Happy Spring everyone!
