Weekend Adventures

We had a great time at a parade today in Loenhout. The parade had a few marching bands but mostly floats as shown in the pictures below. The floats were decorated with real flowers and were very impressive and beautiful.

The pictures below the floats were taken of the front of the house. All the bedrooms upstairs have those big windows. (The kids are in Drew's window.) It is not as scary as it looks as there is a ledge a couple of feet wide in front of the window. Still we don't have them open without us right there in the room. I personally don't like to have the windows open at all because then the bugs come in. And as a mentioned earlier it doesn't matter the size of the bug or whether it flies or crawls it is still a bug as far as the girls are concerned and creates a screaming fit. I'm not really sure why people don't have screens because there are plenty of flying bugs. Plus a bird had a tough time navigating the big window downstairs this morning. Imagine if the window was open and the fit that would have caused!

  • Hey bodmers!
    So glad you finally found my email address. It looks like Belgium is awesome and that everyone is more or less getting settled it. If you could see me now you'd see how green with envy I am. But, I'm happy for you guys that you get to have this experience. I have a feeling that it will be hard to leave in June (if that is what indeed happens). The parade looked amazing. Drew's school and the girls school looked cool too.
    Sophie starts school tomorrow and she is lucky because she gets to ride the bus with her big sister! I think that is helping curb the anxiety a bit. We went for orientation last week and she seemed okay. So, we'll just wait and see.
    Take Care and keep posting! I can't wait to hear more of your adventures!
