Having fun in the Netherlands

We made it here safe and sound and without too much trouble. Although Rachel did surprise us and didn't sleep until the last hour of our long flight! Needless to say, we walked up and down the isles a LOT!!! It was good practice for her and it kept her happy. She really enjoyed the airplane and did not cry when we took off or landed. She also loved seeing all the other passengers as walked by them! All in all, it was a success and we were happy to arrive in the Netherlands!!!
Here's Rachel eating her first meal at our friend's house - the den Os family. Isn't it a cute high chair? Our friend Serge used to eat in it as a little boy and his mom saved it for herself when she has grandchildren!


Here my friend Annelies and her daughter Serra are playing on the playground with Rachel. They call this the "wip" and Rachel really liked it! Annelies is 17 weeks pregnant and Serra is two and a half years old!


Here our friend Jose is feeding Rachel some vla. It is something really dutch - we don't have anything like it in the US. It is like a pudding, but creamier and not so thick. It is delicious and comes in many flavors. Rachel loved it and here she is eating the chocolate variety!


Corry den Os took us to a children's farm and she brought bread for Rachel to feed to the animals. Rachel really liked the goats, ducks, chickens and pigs. It was so cute to watch her and she kept saying "duck" when she saw anything resembling a bird!!!


You could tell she was truly enjoying herself!!!
