a dutch candy store

this is a dutch candy store. Sometimes, if your mom likes you, you can get a BAG of candy. Yum! Yum! Yum! I got to pick the candy. I got a pincher or scooper and you choose what you want. You can get a big bag or a small bag but the bigger is more expensive. Eat your heart out, Uncle Ryan!

Going to the Rotterdam Market

When I went to the Rotterdam market, the first stall we went into was a stall with lots of jewelry and scarves. I saw a pretty bracelet, Luci saw a tiara, and I saw lots of earrings. Plus, I saw a beatiful brooch. There were many antique stalls. We did not go into all of them but I wanted to. At one of the stalls my mom bought a Holland bell. At the same stall we bought two matching teacups, and they had matching plates. And I saw a gray and white porcelain cat. The cat was holding a mouse. We bought it!

Siebren's Birthday Party

Siebren is one of our friends from the Falkena family. One time his big brother Chris came and stayed at our house in Utah. I was the only one there that was English except for my mom and Stephen. Everybody was a big fan of Stephen.

The Market

On Thursday there is a market. There are many tents with hats, food, and things to buy. On our first market day, we bought two hats, mom got a pair of gloves, I got a pair of gloves, and Stevie got a pair of mittens. It was very fun. We got tulips at the flower stand. They were pink.

The warming heater

This is me sitting on the verwaarming (heater) and looking out the window. It's very enjoyable. I love being up there and looking out the window.

Cruising on a bike

If you go on a bike ride here, you see things like rabbit holes, ducks, water, canals, great blue herons, and trees. It is a very nice way to see things. Sometimes when you go on a bike ride and just the right time of year, you will see tulip fields. You can stop and go out in them if you want to. It is very nice to do. But it's too cold for tulips right now. When I went on my bike ride yesterday, it was cold and fun. and windy. See you later!

Eating Patat with Mom

Me and Mom went to get some patat. The peanut sauce was delicious! Mom hog-dogged the peanut sauce and fries but we still had a good time. And she was very fun to be with. Stevie was snoozing in his stroller while we munched and he was really cute. He did not get anything. It would have been nice to share it with him. We ate every single thing before Stevie woke up. Sad to say that. Ba-bye.
