Family Reunion - Vandenbraak Style!

I had a great time at the family reunion in Canada, I met over 60 new relatives on Oma's side.  When I got to the party after my nap, everyone was cheering and saying hello at the same time, and I just smiled.  Mommy said I was "hamming it up", but I'm not sure exactly what that means.

I walked around the pool dozens of time, but I always had to hold someone's hand.  I pulled my helicopter along behind me.

 Jan and steve made a magnificent fruit tray.  I had more than my fair share of pineapple and watermelon.  That's the reason my belly looks so round, it was full of fruit!  When the downpour hit, we all huddled under the tents to stay dry - I'm so happy mommy picked the tent with the fruit tray and balloons, I was happy being stuck there.

 My favorite new relative is Oma's cousin Jan from Holland.  He is so much fun, he would walk with me and play with my ball.  Then he would pick me up in the air and laugh.  He was talking Dutch to me, so I didn't really understand him, but we sure had a special bond!
