Monday

Monday we stayed in Lynden and went to a few shops downtown. We went to this little shopping center where they have a stream running through the middle of it. Jacked loved seeing the fish and wondered if we could fish for them. We also purchased some post cards that we then sent to Jack's class in Grand Rapids. He had so much fun picking them out! (However, Jack wanted to keep them so was sorry to see them go out in the mail.) I think we ended up with post cards for Grandma T, Grandpa T, Great Grandma T, Great Grandpa T, Bec and Jay, and Lib and Justin.

When shopping with Oma it usually means there are treats involved. First we went to a little candy shop and shared a carmel apple, which was delicious, then we went to the shop to pick out the post cards and they had ice cream but they weren't serving it yet. Jack then found this ice cream cone made of fudge and Oma thought he ought to have it. He pretty much liked the chocolate part on the outside and then Oma helped him finish off the raspberry fudge on the inside. We are learning Cooperation & Sharing!

Ever since we went to the zoo on Sunday, but then got rained out and had to return home, Jack has been wondering when we will go back to the zoo. Oma decided Jack should build a zoo of his own. Jack & Oma found all the animal toys and build little cages for them. He has rebuilt the zoo two or three times and in the newest version there is even an aquarium with an octupus in it. He even has a bunny that tends to escape once and awhile and then we all have to search around the house to find the bunny!! What a great imagination he has!!
