The Kuekenhof is a huge tulip and flower show/display that takes place every year in Holland. We stopped on our way to Amsterdam, but unfortunately all the famous tulips haven't bloomed yet. There were a lot of other flowers that were in bloom and several indoor expos. There was a woman showing how to arrange flowers, a man carving wooden clogs, and a petting zoo.
Someone's got big feet!!
Ignore my face and focus on the pretty tulips... it was a long drive and raining out!
One of the green houses with hundreds of different varieties of flowers and tulips
Muttnick! This was a cool sculpture, but where the wood was held together there were exposed spikes- you can't pet this dog!
Typical wooden windmill. You can climb stairs to the observation deck and see thousands of tulips in the field... when they are in season...
More flowers and walking paths outside.
Cameron wouldn't let me pet the baby cow at the petting zoo, but he looked a lot furrier and softer than I would expect of a cow. They also had chickens, roosters, rabbits, sheep and lambs.
This was my favorite sculpture, two bears dancing together
Funny sign, with all the tourists you'd think they'd have someone check their grammar.
We spent the rest of the day in Amsterdam, but there were really long lines for Anne Frank's museum and the Van Gogh museum, so we didn't have enough time to wait in line to see those. It was a great weekend despite the cold, rainy weather!
