Didn't see the Sint for the trees
Jacob was supposed to meet the Sint on Saturday. Ron's work had organised a family day where all the kids could meet the Sint and his "Black Piets". Jacob was also to receive a present. Something in the 'Bob the Builder' (Bob de Bouwer) line we believe.
But Jacob's dad took a long nap at the same time that Jacob did and I was feeling just fluey enough not to bother waking either of them so by the time they did wake and Jacob had been fed and coated and shoed to go outside it was too late to drive all the way to Amersfoort for Jacob to see the Sint. Very possibly his last ever Christmas in the Netherlands and he didn't get to meet the Sint. Or get his Bob the Builder present.
Instead we took him to a small forest just outside Utrecht squeezed in between two freeways.
