Super autumn

After a pretty great summer we're having a rather awesome fall with tons of sun and leaves in the color of my hair falling from trees everywhere. My favorite 'uncle who is not a real uncle' Joff came over from NYC (with a very belated birthday present) and of course october is the time for fall break. I spend some extra time with grandma and grandpa who took me to amusement park Tivoli for my first roller coaster experience and to the awesome snake exhibition Goddelijk en Griezelig at the Afrika Museum. Mom and I went to the cinema twice, and to Naturalis and I spend a nice day with dad in Artis, and I took a ride in the giant Ferris wheel on Dam Square in Amsterdam (mom suddenly developed vertigo but I was totally cool). To top it off, yesterday we did Halloween. Putting on scary make up and spooking people on our way to Paul's place was great fun but when I saw the grown ups in their goth make overs gathering for the Halloween parade last night I was suddenly done with the zombie game. Slept an extra hour and now we're getting ready for some final fun before it's back to school and back to business as usual: swimming pool here we come!
