It's a big blue watery road

So last weekend was my fellow aupair-ers’ birthdays.  And though many of us have celebrated in Amsterdam, this was the first time the weather was nice enough to play outside for the day.  So how did we celebrate?

Actually, let me rephrase that…Where did we celebrate? T-Pain, you wanna take this one?

That’s right, for four hours, two birthday girls, twenty-two aupairs, and three very attractive skippers cruised the canals of Amsterdam ON A BOAT!

Look how happy we all are?  That’s because the sun was a-shinin’, the boat was a-rockin’, and the drinks were a flowin’.

Here are the birthday girls…

Don’t worry, I am fairly sure this was at a point where we were stopped…not actually cruising the waters…with two drunk birthday girls at the wheel.  However, I don’t think that was an issue for most boats out that day.  It seemed everyone was out ready to have a good time…

We started off with a little music…but the motor was too loud, and the speakers died shortly after anyway.  But then it was time for Holly to bust out the old guitar…

Then it was time for the ultimate (American) birthday treat…CUPCAKES!

Can you believe, they don’t have these here? Ok they have them, but no one actually buys them or eats them.

After that it was time to just settle down and soak up the sun…

Or see how many canals we could stand under without decapitating ourselves...

Or just stand around lookin’ fly…

Whatever we did, we did it…

ON A BOAT!
