Ruby and I have just booked our trip to the Netherlands, France and Iceland! It's going to be an amazing two week trip, in October.

In anticipation, one of Ruby's sisters (she has many girls she loves like a sister), Roos, sent her a coloring picture of a character from an acnient amusement park in the Netherlands called de Efteling. This made the trip, which I'd been trying to make real for her by talking about it a lot already, way more concrete for her suddenly.

Basically, she can't wait for us to take a lengthy plane ride or two to meet the pretend person with the crazy super long neck. Everyone else will just be a bonus.
