Amelie receiving a Chreaster present.So we woke up this morning to a city bathed in white snow. We feared it could malign our plans to go to a farm, but luckily it melted by 11:00AM. By noon, we were at the Kinderboerderij Bijlmerweide, which was about 15 minutes away. It is subsidized by the government and is run by volunteers.
We were greeted by all sorts of Easter bunnies and there were a bunch of activities for Liliane, some games, a tractor ride, an egg hunt. Liliane employed her animal sounds to a giant sow named Polly. We also saw an angora goat, some baby goats, peacocks, cattle, donkeys, chicks and chickens. There was a nice playground and although it was rather wet, Liliane took full advantage of it. The snow came and went a few times while there. After about two hours, we went home.
Upon return from the farm, Peter Cottontail had set up an Easter egg hunt for Liliane that consisted of three Kinder-brand chocolate eggs with prizes in the middle. She found two right away and one remains outstanding. For our Easter dinner, we will be having almond-encrusted turkey, petites pommes and green beans. Neither Dan nor I can take credit for preparing this meal, all thanks goes to our local supermarket, Albert Heijn. Dessert is Bonne Maman brand creme caramel.
the elusive egg is not upon the books or in the mouth of the alligator (at far left). It is elsewhere in the picture.

Are those petites pommes ou petites pommes de terre?
Great question! In French, what we ate were "petites pommes de terre" (small potatoes). However, we took it right off the label which, in Dutch, simply said "petites pommes."
Was Amelie excited or terrified by her gift? It's hard to tell in the photo...
She was pretty excited. The gift was a mirror for the bathtub.
