Keukenhof Gardens in Holland

I took over a hundred pictures in the beautiful, world famous Keukenhof Gardens during our trip. Here are some of my favorites. Warning: if you're not so interested in seeing picture after picture of flowers, you may want to skip this post.

Happy Piper.

Pouty Piper. Actually, this is not a full pout and he's trying hard not to smile, which is why I think it makes me laugh :)

flowers!

They look bored, but actually they had a blast in Keukenhof.

There was the fun lake with the lilly pads.


We were amazed that none of the boys fell in!


Family shot.

One of Kev and I taken by our oldest.

Boys and flowers...
reading the labels.

They had a fun playground there as well.

Now that's a happy Piper!

Concentration...
and smiles.

They had a really fun zip line..

this is CJ and a good example of how hard Kevin was pushing them down the line - when they'd hit the 'stopper' they'd go horizontal!


And more flower pics...




with a sweet boy shot thrown in.


My favorite macro shot.

and some amazing tulip colors





One of the famous views along a pond.




Kevin and the boys liked this turtle. I see some BFL designs brewing...

CJ and the classic Dutch wooden clog picture.

And one final flower.

More spring break pictures coming!

What gorgeous flower shots & sweet boys, too! Can't believe no one slipped into the lake! What a lovely time you must have had. Would love to go there!

Wow - that's so gorgeous. You got some great shots; it looks like you where having fun with your camera - very cool. I love the one of the whole family!

Thanks, Mom and Karmen.
Mom, April 2011?!
Karm, I always hate asking people to take our picture and then having one or more of the boys decide not to cooperate. But I took a bunch of them so I figured it was only fair, and out of only 2 pictures taken this one was decent!
