Frozen Canals in Leiden...

On February 12, we took the bus to Leiden because we wanted to see the canals frozen for the first time since we arrived in Holland in 2005. Jimmy and the girls put on their skates, but I just walked along on the ice behind them.

How cool that one of the cafes set up some chairs on the ice to serve drinks.

Here is Ashlynn hanging off the bridge over the main canal. The water wasn’t frozen under some of the larger bridges, so they’d have to walk around to continue their trek through town.
