first day at school

The day after his birthday meant that Travis got to start primary school. He was very excited and when he was getting dressed, said: 'From now on I get to go to school for always!' Lets see how he feels about it all in 5 years time...

 

 He joined the groep 0 class and has a lovely teacher, Juf Marieke. He settled in straight away and absolutely loves it! I can't say I have gotten used to the quiet Friday mornings yet though.

finally four!

Travis has been waiting for ages to turn 4. Here is the happy birthday boy!

 Let's not forget the parcel from Granny and Grandpa! Dylan knows there is a surprise in there for him too...

Once all the presents were opened it was time to get dressed and head to the creche for his farewell-birthday party. 



Olli

We had a good reason to visit the zoo last month. Blijdorp sponsored Feyenoord for the second half of the season. And they introduced Olli, the elephant as the new mascot! He was a hit and was sold out very quickly. Luckily for us they ordered more.

Travis thought that everything stank and walked around like this for half the day!

 

 Something new at Blijdorp: the Amazon butterfly paradise!

the giraffes are always a favourite
