The day before we visited JM and Leo in Den Haag. (Well, Adam had to work and Edward and I visited JM and Leo but Adam managed to come for lunch). Wonderful to see them and they are both looking well. Spike is a lovely dog and very nice around Edward. However, I've been worrying that I have left a book JM had got for Edward at their house - must Skype and check.
In the afternoon I went to the Mauritshuis and looked at various bits of priceless art until I had had enough. (Well, Edward had enough before I did. Edward's sole entertainment in the art gallery was trying to destroy the electronic guide machine.) Edward refused to eat any lunch at JM's house and then of course was starving by the time we arrived at the Mauritshuis. I did spend quite some time giving him bits of food in the foyer of Mauritshuis... an art gallery is not a relaxing place to take a baby.
On the drive home I was flipping through our guidebook to the NL. It has a list of "27 things not to miss" and we are trying to see all of the things on that list. We realised that one of the 27 things (the Keukenhof) would close until 2008 in 2 days time.
So on Saturday, we went to Keukenhof. It is billed as the largest spring garden in the world and is a huge old park full of flowers and paths, little streams, a lake and lots and lots of tourists. Here is Edward enjoying the flowers.

And here, we've finally found a pair of shoes to fit Edward! (He has seriously big feet.)
