The Netherlands didn't have the dramatic mountains that we enjoyed, but we had some interesting times there as well. I still recall the windmills and flat countryside. While there were lots of historic and tourist sites on our trips, sometime we kids just needed to play. Here we are in a Dutch campsite using the family sized seesaw near the Zidersee. The two middle kids (David and I) are on the left, just about perfectly balanced by the oldest and youngest (Rink and Robin). If you look carefully, you'll notice that Rink and I am wearing Dutch canvas slip on shoes. Something else I recall about the Dutch camp sites were the storks and swans.
