Museumplein

Mom and Dad are posing today in front of the wading pool with the tulip planters at the Museumplein. The pool doubles as an ice rink in winter. This photo of the ice rink in January was taken from the opposite direction.

Our visit to the Museumplein this afternoon was preceded by a canal tour and a walk through the Vondelpark where we saw a stork couple nesting high up in an aerie. White storks take turns incubating eggs and feeding young. Today, one was incubating the eggs while the other kept it company.
