Europe Trip 2011

Sorry I've been so bad at blogging, its been quite a busy summer. We were lucky enough to have a family reunion in England and Holland this year so I wanted to share some pictures of our amazing trip.

Despite the long flights and tons of car trips, the boys did extremely well. We flew via Reykjavik Iceland into London, stayed one night and then headed up to Norfolk on the coast and stayed in a lovely house in a small village called Mundesley with Rich's parents and my parents. Rich's sister Emma and her family were able to come and visit for a few days with the girls and we had a blast!
After a week there, we flew to Amsterdam, rented a car and headed about an hour and half away to a small village where we had our Dutch family reunion. There was about 50 of us, some of who I have met and several who I had not-we had lovely dinners, games, walks and lots of drinking :) The boys had a great time and it was a good trip. We were at my grandmas farm for 1 night and then flew back to Seattle, only to have a flight canceled and one extra night in Reykjavik.

Here are some pictures of the trip...
