Vilja gave me a coloring book! It's full of pictures to color, car bingo, mazes, and lots of other fun stuff. I love my coloring book! ?

We got to meet Vilja at the race today! She was really tall but so cuddly.

Today, when we were at the Valbo Shopping Center… well… I found Vilja playing hide-and-seek in the mall. I got to hide, too 😀

We started dancing right in the middle of the mall, surrounded by people laughing. It felt as if the whole place had turned into a dance party. After the dance, I hugged Vilja with a big smile on my face.

I ran into Vilja before the disco, where she was dancing the floss!
