Keukenhof

Our next stop was the Keukenhof Gardens.  The garden contains 4.5 million tulips in 100 varieties.  It is only open from mid March through mid May.

When we were at the clog factory we learned that there were different clogs for Catholics and Protestants.  The round tip yellow clog we are sitting in above is a traditional Catholic shoe.

The girls made their way through the glass maze.  Kaitlyn did pretty good but Delia took a hit into one of the panels.
