Dear Papa,

... it's me, Finn! We hope you had a good time visiting your friends in Toronto and Ottawa, and that you got back to Germany all right! Did you sleep on the airplane, or did you watch movies all the time? Lily misses you and when I ask her where Papa is she says "airport". The silly girl thinks we left you there! I miss you too, but Mama is keeping us busy, so we are doing very well.

Here are some pictures of our adventures these past few days.

This is me. Mama said she wanted to show me something really cool. Well, she took me to Grandpa's old chicken house!

I knocked, but no one answered the door. I told Mama that all the chickens must be sleeping. She opened the door and we went in.

And would you know it - all the chickens are gone! No chickens live here anymore, but it is such a neat little house I told Mama that we could move in! I had a good look around and liked it very much.

Here's me and Mama having a little chicken chat.

Meanwhile, Grandpa and Lily were busy watering the garden. Grandpa would fill the pails and carry them to the garden, and then ...

... he watched Lily while she watered the plants very carefully. She did a good job!

When we were done Grandpa and Mama took us to the Elementary School Playground.

We had so much fun there!

Slides, swings, tunnels, and even a little forest where we played hide and go seek. You should have seen Lily jump right up into Grandpa's arms when we looked for Mama and she suddenly jumped out from behind a bush saying "boo!" I wasn't scared, of course.

And today, after Lily's nap, we went to the Lakewood Pool again. We had SOOOO much fun! And Papa, I went down the big blue slide ALL BY MYSELF! At first Mama or Grandpa fished me out of the water right away, but then I didn't even need that anymore. Grandpa was surprised at how much we love the water and how fearless we are. Afterwards we went to Tim Hortons, just like we did with you. Lily and I had donuts with chocolate icing, yummy! Mama and Grandpa had coffee and we bought a box of donut holes, but guess what, none of them made it home to Grandma. There were two left, but when we didn't look Lily ate half of both of them.

Okay, Papi, this is it for today. Soon I will write more!

Love,
your Sunshine
