Children's Orange Party

 Yesterday the kids got a chance to celebrate the Queen's birthday.  For the first time we decided to take part in the 'vrijmarkt' (a chance for children to sell toys and other things they no longer play with).  It was hard to part with toys but when they realised they got to keep the money they made, it became a lot easier!  Poeze-oma was also here to help the girls sell their stuff.  The money they earned was quickly spent on new things.  Floortje managed to get 2 new pairs of shoes!!!  The girls made 150 dirhams (still had too much stuff to take back home though!)


Of course the Queen came by to say hello!


And all the children got a chance to participate in a play.  They had practiced this during dutch lessons through the week with a dutch theatre group that was flown over from Holland.
