Quick, Don't Get Hit by that Beer!

Since we live in the land of the flowers, it's not surprising that there's several flower parades each year. We finally made it to our first recently with Sally, John, David and Andrew, who live in Heemstede between Leiden and Amsterdam. While it's not as grand as the Tournament of Roses, we appreciated how laid back it was. We arrived just 5 minutes before it started and claimed a great front row curb.

This year's theme was parties, which explains why a beer is bearing down on the kids. Overall, there were 18 professional floats and many sponsor cars covered in flowers. Our favorites were the beach party and the kid's party featuring Pippi Longstocking.
