Relaxing days with Oma and Opa

Over the past few days we have had a very relaxing time.

On our last night in The Netherlands, Wil and Fran, Papa's Uncle and Aunt and Oma's sister and brother-in-law, came over for dinner. Papa had made a lasagne and we all ate and ate. Unfortunately I was not feeling very well so after dinner I choose to have an early night and lay in bed reading Donald Duck comics.

Donald Duck comics are really popular with Dutch children. There is a weekly comic that you can get a subscription for. The weekly comic has been going for so long that Opa had a subscription when he was a child in the 1950s! They also make special comics for Christmas and summer holidays. I have a few of the special books at home.

Papa, Opa and I tried to do the two thousand piece puzzle that I got from the house warming party. We did the side pieces and some of the inside. I would say that we did maybe a tenth of it.

Opa and I went on several walks into town and to his garden together. It was really fun spending that time with him.

Opa's garden is an allotment garden, shared by the town. It is around three hundred meters away from Oma and Opa's house. Although Oma and Opa have a big garden they only have a small garden for flowers at the front of their house. Because Opa likes gardening he goes to the shared garden because he wants to grow fruit and veggies.

In the garden Opa and I found some good berries to use as ammunition for my slingshot. Some went really well, while others just went maybe one meter.

Besides that we have been relaxing in Wageningen.

Next, on Wednesday, we fly from Amsterdam to Birmingham.
