Two days of unbelievable beauty...the Den Haag Temple in the morning and then Keukenhof Gardens in the afternoon.
As a young elder, 45 years ago, Elder Romig had hoped to one day bring his wife to see these beautiful gardens. This year he had the opportunity he had dreamed of! He realized that dream as we walked through the front gates of Keukenhof Gardens. He wasn't able to talk for a few minutes while he got his emotions in control, and that began an afternoon of strolling through the most beautiful gardens we have ever seen.
We have so many missionaries that we needed to divide the mission into two days. Day one is the top picture, day two is the second picture. Most of the Senior Couples are in both pictures because we helped at the temple both days, prepared and served lunch both days and provided transportation for some missionaries to Keukenhof on both days.
Okay, be ready for about 30 pictures from about 300 taken! There was a new and unique and beautiful design around every corner! Color combinations were perfect and many flowers were types we had never seen before. The pictures will do the talking for us...no captions needed!
We have several pictures of the swans. There were 10-12 swans and they came right up to people. There are round platforms in the water pictured below where we could take close up pictures of the swans. The elders and zusters had fun walking across the platforms (and so did we!)
We wanted a picture of us together, but there was no one there to take it. There is always next year!
The Keukenhof Gardens are in their glory for about six weeks. We hope you felt some of the wonder we felt as you looked at these pictures. We can't wait to experience the gardens again next year!
