It's not very often that I can drag the rancher to another continent. But when it is a once in a lifetime chance for unusual opportunities, he can be coerced. It was easy to convince him to go see the kids in North Holland for Christmas. Built-in travel guides made it an easy choice. And as I remind you how old we are and how much we enjoy cruises, he was a push over.
We spent the entire week of Christmas with the kids. They recently returned from their own little holiday in Paris, and I am afraid we wore them out. Lesley was excited to visit a place she had never been, and she had always dreamed of going there. These kids collect experiences more than they collect things. Pretty mature for their age.
The day after we arrived they were excited to take us to their local Saturday grocery and flower market. Oh. My. The breads were unbelievable. Croissants filled with anything you could want, and people probably stayed up all night making them. It was lightly raining, so I don't have a lot of great pics.

So I will share our beverage selections, since we were inside where it was dry for a minute.
It's going to get better...
Stick with me, I'm getting organized, and if you know I've been on a medical mission trip shortly after we returned from this trip, you know what's next. I'm excited to tell you all about both things!
