Here is a clip of Micah enjoying a special Dutch treat - freshly smoked herring. This is in the town of Naarden which was founded in 1350.
Carolyn, Oom Gert, & Kate walking past windmills in the Zaanse Schans.
A clip of Kate enjoying her first outing on a bike with Tante Nel.
Kate enjoys a spin on the bike with Tante Nel. Just a short 17 km ride for us today. Pregnant women probably shouldn't go too much further.
A small fish in a big pond. Kate shopping in downtown Bussum. We found her the cutest hat at the C&A store. Now we only have to wait until it gets as cold here as it was in Holland.
The morning of our departure. Kate is ready for Mardi Gras. She had the best time putting all the beads on and taking them off.
Kate with Moesa - our hostess for 12 days in Holland. (Note - Kate is snapping her fingers because I was doing that behind Micah who had the camera. She wouldn't look in our direction otherwise.)
Another shot from the Zaanse Schans. Kate with windmills in background. Note the headless windmill next to her. Sounds like a Dutch horror movie or something.
Kate - still smiling because it was a few moments later that the goat actually bit her. But, being ever the tough girl, she was happily petting goats (other than this one, of course) a few moments after that.
A canal cruise through Giethorn - the Venice of the North. Micah was our gondolier. (Except it was a motor propelled boat. I told him I'd still appreciate some singing, but never heard anything.)
Carolyn takes to the rudder... Here we (Kate, Oom Gert, & me) take to the lake. This was shortly before it began to rain. Fortunately only a sprinkle until RIGHT before we turned the boat back in. Then - the heavens opened up.
Since Daddy liked the herring so much, I was thinking of finding him a few, but we are going too fast.
