Finally the day arrives when we will actually see flowers. Apparently you only see flowers all over the countryside in travel brochures.
The Tulip is the national flower and it had a long history as exposed by our tour guide, most of which by this time I didn't listen to as I was on the look out for the flower fields.
We got to the Keukenhof Gardens and I couldn't believe the number of tour buses parked there! Someone told us there were 90 buses. Today the garden was having a tulip parade and they expected 50-60,000 people to attend to watch the parade and go through the garden.
Lee is having a light waffle snack, we only had breakfast an hour ago!Aiy-yah! as my mother would have said. By the time we left it was a MASSIVE throng of humanity, pushing and shoving to get in through the gate. I should have taken a picture, but all Lee and I thought to do was duck our heads and get the heck out of Dodge.
I tried to take some pictures without the thousands of milling photo-snapping throng in the background - oh well!
Say "Cheese", we're at the Keukenhof Gardens.

Those flowers are really pretty! That's a nice picture of you and dad! :)
Oooh! Pretties!
Can you imagine the amount of weeding you would have to do in order to try and keep up all of those flowers? I shudder to think of it.
