The Hiding Place

Personal favorites for today:
Annie, Preston and Mom: The Hiding Place Museum
Calvin and Owen:  The Clog Store where we got to see the making of a wood clog demo
Ryan: Our visit to the temple. We got a personal tour, but the temple wasn't staffed this morning to do any actual work in the temple. still a fantastic experience.
Simon: Chasing a duck at the Zaans Schans Open Air Museum. He thought he had it cornered, and said "You're trapped!" but then the duck ducked under the fence. Oh, the irony!


Breakfast at the local Bakery.



The Hague Temple in the Netherlands, small and lovely.




The Hiding Place Museum.  The actual room where Corrie Ten Boom and her family hid 6 jews, saving their lives, during a Nazi raid on their home.

Me and Preston deep in thought.



Kids playing at the Zaan Schans Open Air Museum.



Giant Shoe. We had to try it on. Cute Annie.



Yes, we are in Holland. Look at those windmills!



Cheese shop! We got samples and lots of whiffs of smelly cheese.



Finished the night in a 50's diner, that played 80's music.  They even had Millie Vanillie playing in the back ground. How lucky are we?!
