Fun and frenzies




Because grandma and grandpa were still on holidays I got to spend lots of extra time with mom and since the weather was so amazing we went to the Vondelpark two afternoons in a row, where I got to splash around in the big baby pool, climb a real big castle and this cool rock formation. I had the best time, but as best times go, I hated it when they had to come to an end even though I was totally exhausted. So I made some terrible noise fighting mom but eventually I fell vast asleep on the back of the bike.

Street art


The other day when I was playing with my chalks on the curb a whole bunch of kids from the neighborhood joined in and together we made this big artwork in the street. It was a real party, and we hope the neighbors love what we made because it hasn't rained since so it's still out there!

Big brother time




Cause grandma and grandpa were on holidays for 2 weeks I got to hang out some more with my big brother Nolan and 'papa Theo' on Sundays. We went to the Zoo, watched my new Brum DVD and raced my cars on the curb. Great fun, and really exhausting all that wild boy stuff.

Hidden hen house



A look we found some more pics on mom's mobile phone. This is me on my daily chore picking eggs from the hens.

Hidden holiday house









Mom and I were treated to a super midweek stay at this new CO2-neutral camping concept called Het Verborgen Verblijf on Veluwe Zoom, with a 'great 19th century explorer' theme. We made fire to cook in the slow food wagon, played very old records on a prehistoric record player, cycled for low voltage electricity, looked at the stars with a telescope and I fooled around with a microscope (and of course the Casio keyboard mom brought along as well as a great battery-operated tractor I got as a holiday present). Every morning we went to get fresh eggs at the hens, got veggies and strawberry's from the garden and played with the dog and kittens on the estate. We also went for little trips in the car exploring the surroundings (including a tropical swim paradise that put me into a coma afterwards;-) Mom had her birthday while we were there and uncle Paul, auntie Esmee with little Bas and Jessica with doggie Neo came to visit. I got to stay up real late every night because I got a bit scared... so dark out and all the strange noises in the bedroom tent were a bit too impressive. Apart from all the over excitement that kept me from sleeping we had the best time together.
