As you turn into our neighborhood there is a beautiful field of Tulips blooming... in Europe, there are places like this where you can pull over and pick what you want then leave payment (on the honor system!). It is just so refreshing! Today after getting the kids off the bus, we walked down to the tulip field to get some flowers!
The sign telling you how much the tulips cost. You put the money in the little hole marked "kasse" which is the word for "cashier".
We also brought 'flat Stanley' with us. The kids cousin Antares sent him to us to take some pictures with him while in Germany. We actually brought him to Prague... but OOOOOPS! He remained hidden in my purse the whole time! ugh!
This is the sign as you enter our village of Mackenbach! There was also a field of Narcissa (daffodils) but they were not blooming quite yet so we will have to go back! By the way... the Tulips were 40 Euro Cents a stem which works out to about 60 cents a stem... tell that to the local florist!!!!! And we got to choose exactly which ones we wanted! :-)

I miss those flower fields. We used to walk to the one right down from our house. The girls loved picking flowers there. Makes me miss Germany. I am reliving it through you! It also makes me wish my kids were older when we were there. I spent a lot of time pushing a stroller around and dealing with a baby....and they don't remember much. Oh, well. Who knows, we'll probably end up there again one day. Love all the pics!
