Cuddling elephants again!

O me COOKNESS! Me still no believe me saw me elephant buddies again last week! Berry and me went by train to The Hague and there they were. We went for cake and coffee to a café and me just had to hold them. Maybe a bit too tight, but it been a while. Me last saw them on our Madurodam trip (remember). That a loooong time ago. So this was AMAZING. Me was so happy, me almost forgot to eat cake. Almost that is, hihi. (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Cookie At the Museum part 12: Het Mauritshuis

The second workthingy of the year brought Berry and me to the Mauritshuis in The Hague. It one of me fave museums. They have a great collection and the coolest exhibits! This one was all about George Stubbs. A very famous British artist who was really in to horsies. You could say he was obsessed by horsies. He even made a whole book with anatomical studies of horsies. And paintings. He was the guy to call if you wanted a painting of your prizewinning pony. The best part? To just sit with Berry and look at the huge painting of Whistlejacket… Because, sometimes you just need to sit with your bestie in silence, enjoying something beautiful. (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Having fun at Madurodam

It feels like forever now that me saw me buddies Richie and Keith at Madurodam on March 12 2020. It was the last day trip me had before all zoos, museums and themeparks closed due to corona. When me write this (it is April), we are still staying home and staying safe and trying to make the best of a weird situation. Me is very happy though that we went out and had fun. Because the sun was shining and Madurodam is just a very very fun place to be. Even the little elephants are tall here hihi. (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Going all Artsy with Richie & Keith in The Hague

One of me fave museums in the Netherlands is the Mauritshuis in The Hague. Me have been there many times for Berry her work thingies. But… mostly we go and see a new exhibit at the special exhibit wing of the museum. This time we went with me buddies Keith and Richie to ALSO see the regular exhibits on 19 December 2019. And it was amazing! Me saw the girl with the pearl earring for the very first time! Awesome huh. Of course first Richie, Keith, Honeydrop and me went to have cake and coffee and tea… (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Cookie At the Museum part 4: De Mesdag Collectie

One of me fave museums in The Hague is De Mesdag Collectie (the Mesdag Collection). This museum is situated in the old museum and home of Hendrik Willem and Sientje Mesdag. They were really famous in their time. They collected AND made art. They held art parties and organised art exhibits. Their collection can be seen at this beautiful little museum! Also the museum hosts exhibitions that are related to the Mesdags. Last year me went twice to De Mesdag Collectie, one time for a workthingy and the second time with friends (you will read all about that on a Saturday). (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Birthday fun in The Hague

October 25 2019 was a very special day, because me, Bamboo, Keith and Richie, Aapie and Abu would surprise Aapie’s mom for her birthday! Birthday parties are the best. You can hang out with your friends and have cake. Also we went out to see some art! Yes, we went to the Mesdag Collectie together. Awesome huh. Come along, me made loads of pictures that day to show you all! (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Cookie At the Museum part 1: Mauritshuis

Me love Berry her workthingies so much. This way she takes me places not many monsters get to see. Especially art museums. So… me starting a new Wednesday’s series in which me tell you more about the exhibits me saw in 2019 (me still have a lot of catching up to do) and hopefully 2020 soon. Me will show some art, tell you about the workthingies and more. Because me go to the same museums for these workthingies me is going to put them together per museum or art exhibit together. Fun huh. Well… me start with Mauritshuis in The Hague. It a lovely museum next to the Binnenhof, where our politicians meet. Mauritshuis is an historic building and used to be the house of this dude named Johan Maurits and was built in the 17th century. You can experience all kind of 17th century arts there. Like art from Rembrandt and Johannes Vermeer. (pictures made by Berry de Nijs)

Playing with statues by the sea

Me latest instameet - well, it more of a friend meet now - was again with the little elephants Richie and Keith. You must know Berry and Tessa (our humans) are really into art. Me love art too. And me thinks the little elephants do too... me not sure. Me need to ask them... Anyhow, our humans love art and wanted to go to a museum. So they choose Museum Beelden aan Zee (Museum Statues by the Sea) in Scheveningen, Den Haag. So we hopped on the train and went to The Hague. It was a very nice day on November 9 2018 and the museum was nice too.
