Madurodam ~ Scheveningen The Hague

Sunday  ~

A Day with Jason, Milou and Skyler!!!!  Yahooooooo!!!!!!

There is a cute children's park here in The Hague that is VERY popular and has been here for many years!  It draws many locals and also many tourists!  It is called Madurodam and it is a minature town of familiar sights in The Netherlands!  I enjoyed going here with my boys when we lived in Holland!  It was great to spend the day with Jas, Milou & Skyler and experience this together...and what a treat for little Skyler to experience this!!!

The family picked us up and we all got in cozy and snug!  Jas new car drives like a dream - he is really pleased with his purchase!  "Good morning Skyler!!!  Are we going to Madurodam today???"                                                        Joy! Joy! Joy!












The park was close by - so arriving there at 11 am was a really good time....people were already lining up into the parking area.  The weather has been a bit "iffy" BUT we were so pleased - it stayed just beautiful all day long.

 Skyler was off...heading to the Park...she was ready to see it all!!!!  Look at that determined walk.....! We better follow her - you guys!

 Let's pose here by the sign..OK?

Jason had ordered tickets online - so we entered!
 

 Hey look here...a man with his finger in the Dike.....oh is that a familiar and well known sight for Holland?????  Of course he has a wooden shoes on too!



 Of Course!!!

Jas stood in a line to "register" Skyler at Madurodam...as a little visitor..how cute is that!  






 

Everything was in Dutch & English ~ nice for all the visitors~

As we turned the corner...there was the first view...so cute!

Skyler was excited to see everything...she ran ahead and then back again to Momma!

 Many cities were represented here in Madurodam.  Well known buildings throughout the country...and beautiful churches.
