Queen's Day 2011 and a new pony

     Hi Again! I must be on a roll, because this is my second post this week!!!! This is also a tab bit late, but better late then never!

     First off, lets get to the cutest thing ever... A new baby Friesian horse! While away on vacation, Gerjanneke gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. His name is Jorick, and I got the joy of meeting him when he was only 3 days old. He is the cutest thing I have ever seen, and I feel so lucky to be able to spend time with him and watch him grow, every week!

     So, now onto Queen's Day. From my limited knowledge of this holiday, it is a day to celebrate the Queen.... ( Duh, stated in the name...) So, how does one spend Queens Day? Well according to my friends, you must wear orange, gather with friends, and drink copious amounts of alcohol! We had the ingenious idea that all of us should get together in Amsterdam, and off we headed.

     I also  should take a moment here to mention that I had my baby brother (19yrs old) visiting, and we decided he should come along with us! I was some what of a mean big sister, and I allowed him to get completely inebriated, and then laughed at how silly he was. He was great entertainment, and he now has a memorable experience! Plus according to him, he had a great time!

     We had a fantastic day. There was people every where and all were in orange.  Every street was lined with tents and booths, there were beer gardens every where, and so many music stages that I could not even begin to count them all. It was nice, and although chaotic, everyone we came across was very pleasant!

     I know that this post is short, but I am running low on time. Instead of blogging this earlier, I went wake boarding with our friend Mark instead. It was really fun, and a new experience for me. I have never tried to wake board with a cable system, only ever behind a boat. Let me just say, it is not any easier, only difficult in different ways. I am now exhausted!

     I will not be posting for at least the next 2 weeks because my friend Jamie is coming to visit me! I am so excited for her to arrive, she will be here in less then 2 days! We are going to do and see so many things! I will of course blog them, so keep tuned in!

Until later, Happy wanderings and wonderings to all!
