Yup. Good sturdy boot in the front, too!

Before we head out, snack time to refuel!

Storytime!

This book is more interesting when other people are interested in it, too.

Spotted at the used book stall: the same series of craft books we had at the Cottage!

It's always fun to shop at Donki; what will you find?
