The Amazing Race - Hilversum

the boys race to find their first clue


they read the first clue to determine where they would go next to find another clue


Helen's Dutch preschool was the site of the next clue




on their way to the next clue (the french bakery)




helen opens the envelope




jayden reads the clue




the next clue takes them to the grocery store (Albert Heijn)


this clue is a little tricky - it contains 4 letters that they must arrange to figure out the next stop


HEMA was the 4 letters that they had to unscramble

jayden reads the final clue


the final stop in our amazing race- the butcher!


they didn't win a milion dollars - but they did get a 1 Euro ice cream cone from McDonald's!



Ross and I decided it would be fun to say goodbye to Hilversum by playing our own version of the Amazing Race. Ross came up with the clues and we took turns biking around with the kids to each of the clue locations. the kids told us how to get to each location all on their own! I was amazed that they knew all these places without our help or even the help of a TomTom! now that's better than I could do! :)
