Queensday

April 30th is Dutch Queensday and also here in Houston it was celebrated with a big family party. To show our support to the ladies who organized it all we made somewhat of an effort to dress up.

 Queen Kaatje borrowed Trix's Golden Carriage for the day.

 And Rick emulated the Dutch TV show ' Boer zoekt vrouw' (Farmer seeks wife) into 'Prince seeks Princess) and brought Lady Di / Kate type princess engagement rings to support his 'hunting efforts'.

Rick was very happy that the whole event turned into a major pool party later on and as you can see Little Maartje and Mees where also happy with the big slide.

 Rick won the award for 'best King of the day', not sure at all he realized what it meant

 Kaatje was not eligible to compete - as she was too young - but the 'Gouden Koets' (the carriage) was a HUGE success and Kaatje looked Royal and content all afternoon.
