Giethoorn

On Friday we all had the day off. Decided it would be fun to check out a major Dutch tourist attraction before it got too packed with tourists once again. The village of Giethoorn is about an hour north of where we live, and it has canals instead of streets. 

Fun little place, but I was a bit underwhelmed. Maybe just because it was cold and cloudy, but it didn't seem to live up to its hype. We went to a rock museum which was really cool and enjoyed a fun boat ride. The girls even got to steer, and they liked that a lot. 

Thursday was a big day for the girls. School breakfast to celebrate Easter and then a market to raise money for Ukraine. They made and sold some things and had a lot of fun. The weather has been nice, so we have been busy with getting things done outside in the garden and a bit of painting here and there. 

Amélie had a sick day on Monday.

Enjoying our home made ice cream!

We found a collection of stork nests on the other side of the lake.
