It's Queen's Day ...

Today is Koninginnedag, or Queen's Day in Holland.

It's a national holiday here, sort of like the 4th of July. Everyone thing is closed basically, they have big open markets where people can sell stuff freely, there is lots of food, games etc etc. Everyone dresses in orange and it's a big party. Then at night they have fireworks....Amsterdam does a huge fireworks show over the water.

Alexa had her party at school yesterday...I got to paint some faces too, they had about 25 activities to do throughout the morning.
