Guess Who Came to Town?

Well, here I am on a slide.

It looks like I'm at the park.

Except, no...

I'm actually indoors...

And soon to be in MY train room at the children's play museum...

Where I took OPA when he came to town this weekend! (Oma came too, yippee!)







Here I am on Saturday morning reading with Opa.



At long last, my swing is up in my backyard. Opa hung my tree swing for me! Wheee!



We all went to the park Saturday afternoon to play a little soccer.



Oma is coaching me on my soccer technique (her advice was to concentrate on kicking the ball and not picking up all the little rocks on the field).






We also rode the cars at the park. Dad wasn't crazy about the color scheme, but I still like this one. I'm secure in who I am. Heck, look at Opa's shirt.








I also pulled out my fleet of Matchbox cars. These are not Opa's Oldsmobiles.



And last, but certainly not least, we got to hang out on the front porch. I am wearing a blue sweater that my great grandmother (Opa's mom) made for me. Perfect for a mild winter day.








I miss you guys!

The Greatest Show on Earth

Mom and Dad surprised me with tickets to "the greatest show on Earth!" Yep, I went to my first circus. It was a really exciting evening. I saw elephants and tigers and horses, oh my!

These first photos were taken before the show started when they let you walk around the rings with the clowns and animals.



I was "stoked" to see the ramp and the BMX bike guys. They did gnarly tricks on their bikes. I can't wait 'til I'm big enough to flip a bike too.


I thought the elephants and stilt-walkers were cool, but...


the biggest highlight, by far, was the tigers!!!!!


We had some pretty rockin' front row seats so I caught all the action. I can't wait until the next time we visit the circus!



It was nice enough this past week that we broke out the sidewalk chalk. I REALLY liked it and have been drawing on the ground every chance I get.







A sloped driveway sure keeps me on my toes when my chalk rolls away!




See you again soon! Love, Noah Van Gogh
