Hi everyone,
We stopped a park in Sterebek, Belgium (where we were staying) to let the kids get out and romp. Really cool park - lots of great playground architecture - Hailey and Lucas found a spinning mushroom that... well... see for yourself...
This blog began when our family moved to Delft, The Netherlands in 2008. We have since returned to the USA, but kept the title along with many fond memories.

Mussels in Brussels!
G'day!
October 2nd thru October 4th was spent exploring the lovely city of Brussels! We spent Friday exploring the Grand Plats, Brussels' city square. The gilded buildings were beautiful. Our trip to Brussels would not be complete without Waffles, Mussels and Frites (Fries). The Belgians double fry their frites, making them extra tasty, especially for the kids. We also saw the "Mannequin Pis"- a statue of a little boy peeing (we now know why Hailey has had so many accidents lately). We also stoped by the Comic Book Museum which, coincidentally, was celebrating the 50 year anniversary of the beloved Smurfs - who knew they were Belgian?

Kermis
The Carnival- KERMIS comes to town twice a year. This was Lucas and Hailey's favorite ride. Our collective favorite treat was a ball of fried dough with powdered sugar "alebolin." Some people prefer it with apples or raisins, but we quite liked it in its pure form of heart-stopping bliss.
