Surprise visit

"opa Afrika" came for a surprise visit, and believe it or not as far as the girls are concerned the the first to recognize him was Esmee! The last few weeks Zoey and Esmee have been playing with photo's from last year, and Zoey explained who was on which picture. So when my dad came into the house, Esmee yelled "opa", and Zoey looked confused.... I guess Esmee thought, well he's in a picture, so why is it strange he's in the house. Zoey thought "what is opa doing here all of a sudden?"
My dad came as a surprise for his best friend's 70th birthday, and gave him a good excuse to see us. We had a great time seeing him. Did things like make our own pizza, order and eat chinese, opa read the girls books, helped them make puzzles, Zoey showed off how well she could ride her bike, and we went to Miniatuur Walcheren (a park full of the minature schale models of the well known buildings and events in our part of holland). We even took a ride on a mini train!! And took some great pictures! Unfortunately, though, we forgot to upload the pictures onto my laptop, so dad has them back in Sierra Leone.
It was a lot of fun though, and we loved having you here dad/opa! Come again soon!! And you too, oma!
