Feb 2010 - Trip to the Netherlands


In front of the Nemo Museum in Amsterdam: a hand-on museum with lots of different things to try out.

Mallory surrounded by a bubble made by Creed in the Museum.


Grant flying a solar-powered plane overhead.


Heidi tried out a game like she saw on "The Cube" to learn about electric current.



Grant, hoisting himself using a pulley system.

The Correy Tenboom house in Haarlem was very interesting.


Taking in the sights (and the cold) at the Groote Markt in Haarlem

The frozen Zuiderzee on the south side of the Afsluitdijk in the Netherlands.

The ice near the shore was all broken up. It was really cool.

The abominable snowman wears tight jeans!

Another horrific shot of the monster.

The ice was very clear and we could see the sea's floor after wiping off the snow.

The Afsluitdijk holds the ocean back from flat, flat, low Holland. The freshwater, frozen Zuiderzee to the right is noticeably lower than the grey North Sea to the left.


The Rijksmuseum, back in Amsterdam.

Mallory enjoyed seeing the houseboats on the canals in Amsterdam.

The family waiting in line for entrance to Anne Frank's house with the typical orange bike in the foreground.
