Fransje's B-day and a quick visit to Den Haag

Fransje (my aunt) celebrated her birthday with many friends and the kids were very helpful. Here they are making fruit salad.
Fransje and Martijn...
Enjoying many bottles of wine--the kids were great at keeping the glasses full and Fransje enjoyed moving around the table to sit with different friends.
A walk on the Zwanburger Polder--across from the house. The cows are roaming freely which made us a bit nervous as we have seen them start running before.
The Plein in Den Haag--a popular spot to meet for drinks on a sunny day. Some of the modern buildings are visible in the background. The statue is of Willem van Oranje and he was one of the leaders of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish.
The Binnenhof-houses of parliament. We didn't see any important people.
A visit with Pom and Vera on The Plein--we enjoyed many bitterballen.
