Quiet day, simple pleasures

The many moods of Jayden...

There are so many nice parks in Holland.I think we've hit just about all of them this summer!Jayden loves to be outside. We started out at Huizenga park in the morning with our usual playdoh, bubbles, feeding the ducks and geese, and crawling all over Timber Town. Lunch at Donalds-nuggets, fries, and apple juice. Tyler and Jayden took a nap. Granny had to work for awhile. Then off to Hog Wild BBQ for supper and Centennial Park, located in downtown Holland. There are two ponds featuring Koi. In one of the fountains there are many varieties of ferns, moss, and flowers planted directly on the rocks. There is also a large gazebo at Centennial Park and a very large bronze statue of Rev. Van Raalte-founding father of the original Dutch Reformed settlement here. That's where we snapped these few pictures today.



Here, Jayden talks things over with Benny Franklin. A rather serious conversation from the looks of things. Jayden is fascinated with all the bronze figures scattered throughout town.

Jayden plays sparklers with his "bald" Unka Trevor (sporting his new Navy haircut)
Life is grand as long as you've got sparklers and Pop-its!
 
We ended our day with the first fresh ears of corn from our neighbor's field-summer is so great!


The look of a satisfied customer!
