For the non-Dutch....
Today would be Orange day, known as Queen's day...I have been to a few of these in Amsterdam, when kids were still something for the future, and you would order (and drink) bier till you realise you're standing on a huge pile of plastic cups...10 hours later but it felt like 10mns. Some strange experience. I dragged many of my French friends there and my sis and her friends, and they all "lived" the experience and loved it..
When you have kids, you forget about hip Amsterdam andyou stay in your area, wake up really early to bring all the old stuff - you've accumulated during the years and never took the time to throw away - to a designated area, then try to sell it for nar to nothing. A giant boot sale in effect....LOL.
If you want to know more about this yearly event, go there.
Kids loved it and made 15 euros each. They could not wait to go and spend it...lol. We did not drink bier but tea and coffee. Yes we're getting old...LOL.
what fun!
love the french flags. :)

Great pictures! But with kids you can surely go to AMsterdam on Queensday. Must go to the Vondelpark. Really great place, escpially in the morning. Mostly parents and childeren only! Really 'gezellig'.
