Box Kitchen

We went to Ikea this past week to get a bookshelf for the office while we were there I saw the neatest kids kitchen. The only problem was it was 100 euro. After we got home I was looking at the size of the box that the bookshelf came in and I thought it would be perfect for a kitchen!

"I want Coffee!"

Every morning Kees sees Steve and I with our cups of coffee. He was wanting to try some and said, "I want coffee!" Papa made Kees a cup of hot chocolate. Kees thought he was pretty grown up sitting at the table next to papa having a cup of morning "coffee."

Chinese Store

We heard recently from a reliable source that there was American food items available at the local Chinese store. This sounded strange but we were going to see if the legend was true. To our surprise a small shelf existed full of American goodness. We could not believe our eyes! Steve found a cream soda in the cooler and let out a actual scream! I think everyone in the store thought we were crazy. The next rumor in town is that a grocery store in the town of Leiden carries Reese's butter cups... we must go soon on our next adventure to find if the Reese's legend is also true! :)

Trip to Noordwijk

Today we went for the afternoon to the coastal town of Noordwijk. It was a chilly day at the coast but the sun came out for a moment and it was beautiful. We live about 45 minutes from Noordwijk. Kees kept warm in his raccoon hat!
We had pannenkoeken at a local cafe. Kees was enjoying having a spoonful of whipped cream from Papa's hot chocolate.
Steve and Kees hand in hand walking on the path to the North Sea. Kees calls the sea the "water."
Beautiful!
