Holland!
Dad, checking out the competition... This is at Keukenhof, a formal gardens, in the South Holland province.
Marion, making ambitious gardening plans... Most of these bulbs are donated by the various local growers.
Marion: "These are azaleas, Mom, not tulips, so why is Dad taking this picture? ...Don takes those pictures..."
Even the amarylis were in bloom. This looks like a busy garden center... Ok, enough of these flowers, can we get something a little less stereotypical Dutch?
This !?! This is what you consider to be less stereo-typical Dutch ??? This windmill is near the flower garden.
Looks like it's family party time at Mom's sister Tini's place, and fondue is on the menu.
Same at the kid's table!
Then it was time for the embarassing old family films... Marion is sitting between Dolinda (left) and Marion (right). Yes, 2 Marions...
Looks like the formal anniversary party is about to begin: Here's Mary and Tante Sjaan... (staying at Ome Toon's nearby) Where's Dad, Mom, and Marion?
Dad: "I'm not going anywhere until my hair is done!"
Two of Dad's brothers look like they are putting together the corsages... The girl is Karina, Ome Toon's daughter.
And here they are: on the big day! Oma and Opa Huysmans. Translated sign: Congratulation to the bridal pair!
