Last Saturday we celebrated our Kings birthday. In former years we always had a queen so we had Queens day as long as I can remember. It always is a day full of celebrations and fun. In our town we have a freemarket what used to be for children to sell the stuff they didn’t want any more or outgrew. These days many people try to sell their goods.
We also always have a fair very near our home . I love to walk around and look at all the people. So much fun to enjoy.
Here a small impression of the day.
Gorgeous.
This little guy is dancing away. So cute.
The little girl is trying to sell her bike. So much to sell…
This little doll had so much fun on that little motor bike.
And another one having fun.
So cute and to win.
wild life for the kids.
Such a crowd and lots to play on.
A few more photo’s

Mooie kleurige en fleurige foto's van de eerste Koningsdag, Riet. Die feestdrukte kan mij niet zo bekoren, daarom heb ik Koningsdag grotendeels in alle rust in de natuur doorgebracht.
Het was een mooie Koningsdag en wat hadden we mooi weer. Omdat manlief nog niet helemaal hersteld was (en is), zijn we niet al te lang weggeweest, maar lang genoeg om van de gezellige sfeer te proeven :-).
Fijn weekend, Riet! Liefs, Ingrid
Happy Pink Saturday, Riet. This looks like such a fun day. That little dancing boy is so cute. And, I would have wanted to buy that pink bicycle.♥
Thank you for joining us today, and for always making Pink Saturday special.
Ha lieve Rietje, wat een zalige impressie van een onvergetelijke
dag, Koningsdag, wel even wennen
de naam hé. En wat hebben we het getroffen met het weer.
Je foto's zo heerlijk kleurrijk,
en zo mooi de sfeer weergevend
van een fantastische dag.
Dat meiske met haar fietsje, toen
ik de foto groot had geklikt las
ik 7 euro voor de fiets????
Dan zal hij wel heel snel
verkocht zijn want de fiets zag
er perfect uit.
Heerlijk altijd al die kinderen
zo zien genieten van alles.
En wij natuurlijk ook volop.
Prachtige serie van de feestdrukte.
Heel fijn weekend wil ik je wensen,
Veel liefs,
Josephine

As I have just recently found out I am adopted and my birth heritage is Holland I am facinated by all things dutch so i loved reading about your fair and what lovely smiles on the faces of children. Thank you for sharing. HPS Michelle
Looks like a colourful and fun time.
Looks like such a fun day! Love the happy faces on the children!
Love the photos of the children, Riet. It is so interesting to me to watch the King and Queen on their day. We don't have that in America. Their children are darling, too. xo Jenny
Leuke foto's Riet, heb de festiviteiten dit jaar gemist, maar het ziet er elk jaar toch hetzelfde uit.
Looks like a delightful Kings Day . . .
Love seeing all the children . . .
And the Oldies in Orange . . .
A Kings Birthday - a new treat for you all! Love all the orange in patriotic salute! You're pictures of the children are wonderful. Every time I've been in The Netherlands I have taken photos of a few children. All children are beautiful but there is something about the children I've seen there that always catches my eye. They are just gorgeous - great genes, I guess. I have absolutely zero Dutch in my ancestry so, along with my actual UK and Italian genes, I consider Dutch my "adopted" nationality because, you know, I adore your country!
Have a lovely weekend!

Oh that is a fun weekend. I have enjoyed those times when kids were small and even with hubby in Kingston, Ontario Canada.
Also back then was the street busters and now they travel world wide.
What a good way to celebrate. I wondered if the celebration is always on a certain day or if it is actually on your King's real birthday.
leuk riet,
een machtige mooie serie:-)
wat een mooie dag hé
Those children were having so much fun!! :)
What a colourful celebration. Love the photos of the little ones enjoying their day. But the real gem is the little guy dancing. What a cutie.
Everyone looks to be having a good time on your first (in a long time) King's Day celebration!
What a fun time, especially for the children..Cute shot of the dancing boy..Riet, thanks for sharing. Have a happy week!
The little fellow is so cute, glad he had a good time. You know Riet, we've had a queen during my lifetime too but one day will also have a king again.
Have a good week!
That all looks like so much fun, and you had good weather fo rit too. I'm visiting for the 1st time from Blue Monday.
Hello Riet,
What a fun time you had! There was so much to see and do. Those children are delightful. Thanks for playing today.
I'm looking forward to reading your comment on my blue injury post. Please come back.
Have a Happy Blue Monday!

much love...
Hello dear Riet
The weather looks wonderful - the perfect time to be out and about taking photos and enjoying the happy scenes.
A great idea for children to have the opportunity to sell their things - a good way to learn the value of money!
Lovely post
hugs
Shane

wish I was a kid, and go on these bouncy castles.
It looks really fun, and very colorful. And what did you get for yourself aside from photos.
Cute and fun shots. A great event!

Such sweet shots.
Hoi Riet, wat gezellig dat je weer met je kleindochters naar Londen gaat! Een paar dagen geleden kreeg ik trouwens een hele lieve reactie op mijn blog van je kleindochter Megan. Ze gaf mij een paar hele lieve complimenten. Uiteraard heb ik daar op gereageerd :-)!
Ik wens jullie samen heel veel plezier!! Liefs, Ingrid
Hi Riet
Colour and cute kids - what fun!

What a fun post, Riet! It's a brilliant idea to have a special day for children to sell things they don't need anymore. That teaches them many good life lessons. Christa
