We're all still recovering from a great two weeks of celebration and
visits from grandparents. Aldus himself was unusually tired and cranky yesterday morning. Could it be that he grew accustomed to being held and
fawned over every waking moment (and many sleeping ones) by adoring
grandparents?
My parents arrived May 10, and one of the first things we did was visit the zoo in Emmen. Aldus was only vaguely interested in the animals.
One morning we went to the local bakery for coffee and pastries and apple pie and whatnot. Aldus enjoyed wandering around the patio with my dad.
After Charles's mom arrived, I took Aldus and the three visiting grandparents to Keukenhof. Unfortunately, it was one of the last days of the season that the gardens were open. It was drizzly and a bit disappointing that almost all the tulips were gone. But I think they enjoyed walking around, seeing the few tulips that were there and the gigantic lily exhibit. And spending time with Aldus, of course.

A good time was had by all.
