The Netherlands 2012

My father and step-mother came to visit during Oscar's spring break in April.  We scheduled a three-day trip to the Netherlands.  Of course we went to the Keukenhof (3rd year in a row).  The weather forecast called for rain each day we were there but it never rained once.  On the day we went to the Keukenhof, the sunlight helped me get some great photos.  My dad brought his fancy Canon 7D camera so I got to use that for the photos.

I had to lay on the ground to get this photo but it was worth it.

Back-light from the sun produced the visible shadows where the petals overlap.

The amusement park that is co-located with the Eurocamp facility where we stayed is one of the big reasons we keep going back.

We spent hours at the indoor water slides.

Oscar kept asking for cotton candy.  He wanted it so badly.  Finally Susan bought it for him.  And then he hated it.

 How many safety violations can you count in this photo?  Not shown is group of teenagers that were riding down the slide on skateboards.
