Woodlands

the church that is, not the trees.

mom and i went and visited Woodies while we were staying with granny. lots of people came and gave mom a hug in the morning, and they seemed quite pleased to see me too, although perhaps not quite as shocked as last time. The band were really cool, led by Abby and Colse, and everyone really seemed to be enjoying themselves.

We went and had lunch with Ed and Deb (mom had curry AGAIN), and i borrowed Isaac's high chair so i could have my lunch. I had a nice time playing with Isaac's toys while the grownups were talking, and then Ed taught me how to clap so that i wouldn't feel too left out in the evening service.

Next we visited Pam Scott-Cook. Pam had a very pretty fruit bowl on her coffee table that i'd soon emptied onto the floor. somehow one banana detached itself from the bunch in the process, so i thought i'd better do the right thing and eat it. i had a bit of trouble peeling it but soon managed to get my thumb in the top and half a banana in my mouth. mom looked kind of surprised. you would have thought by now she'd know i'd do just about anything for banana.

Our final stop before the evening service was the Hiscotts. i was getting pretty tired by now but i had fun sorting through their laundry while mom had a chat to Claire. Apparently it's been ten years since the church bought the Woodlands building. Seems hard to imagine that length of time.

We didn't stay too long at church in the evening: just long enough to say hi to a few more people and to show Liz H my newfound clapping skills. There were lots and lots of people there, and even after quite a few had gone upstairs there was still barely an empty seat in the place. maybe a few more should come over to Vancouver?
