With no Wal-Mart's or Michael's Arts and Crafts Stores in sight, we had to get creative in putting the costume together. Thankfully, there are many second-hand clothing stores around. I found a brown knitted shawl, a brown pillow case, and a brown shirt all for about 5kina (about $2 Aus/Can).
And thankfully my mom is here right now because I don't know how to sew! She went to work sewing a tail out of the pillow case, unravelling the shawl, and sewing pieces of the yarn onto the shirt and the end of the tail.
One of our craft books inspired us to make this mask out of a cardboard box. We all--Mom, Dad, Ian, Jonathan and I--did our share of cutting, gluing, painting, and attaching some more of that yarn for the mane!
RRROOAARRR!

Very nice lion! Amazing creativity. We all approve of his choice of book character :-). We're praying for you and we miss you.
Alice, Jacoba, Jonah, Simon, and Allie. (And Allan I'm sure too, but we're in Holland without him right now) We love you all.
Great Lion Jonathan!
