We are heading back for month of July this summer. Kids aren't so thrilled, but what do they know.  They know exactly nothing, that's what they know.  Actually, they know that the yogurt tastes way better in Belgium.  And they know that it's rainy and cold in July.  Aaaaaand they know that if you don't watch your step, you'll probably step in dog poo.  But maybe with more travel, we can be sure to show them clean sidewalks (London), yucky yogurt (Italy), and sparkling weather (Paris).

Winter Fuel for a Snowy Soul

I know it can beautiful. And I know that I would surrender if I can be the dude behind the hand-held zamboni (at 1:07).

Scatman Crothers

No, we didn't see him nor his ghost or were we any where near any jazz...BUT! we did have our own Scatman in the car for our 2 hour drive to see a collection of windmills in the Netherlands, today. Saturday, July 14. Bastille Day.

(We did not have wooden clogs on.)

Yup. A rental car with a funky (as in dysfunctional) radio and two kids. One that's 6 and has a propensity for noises that come from his mouth and the laughter and giggles and the laughter and hilarity...over and over and over and over and.......

So, two hours. To see active windmills in a town in the Netherlands by the name of Kinderdijk. http://www.kinderdijk.nl/

We joined a family with whom Scott knows through work to this sight for a day trip that would include a little picnic. And in classic Sutton fashion we packed baguettes, cheeses, meats, crudites, cheeses, meats, water, wine, back-up of cheeses and meats for

a party of 20. Just in case.

And there were 4 of us.

And the 4 kids already had their pre-made sammies.

and then we walked among the windmills.

Windmills.

With home-made jazz.
