Fresh produce from the farm

On Saturday we met up with some friends at a farm to picks some fresh produce.  We originally tried to go to a berry farm (hopefully we can go later), but couldn't find it so we ended up at this place.  We picked strawberries, raspberries, zucchini, onion, bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.  In addition we got to show the kids how cucumber, lettuce, celery, herbs and lots more vegetables are grown. Fun times with good friends :).

Belgian Sun

Our trip home was not the best.  Over 24 hours of travel, 2 plane changes, 3 extra hours sitting on the runway (1 pre-flight and 2 post-flight), a 5 hour delayed flight and 0 pieces of checked luggage made it with us.  The two bright things were that our kids are amazing travelers and didn't whine at all and our missing luggage all got delivered to our doorstep the next day.

Anyways, we were welcomed home with days of beautiful sunshine.  I finally blew up the inflatable pool that I didn't have a chance to use last year.  Kherington loved splashing around...Kevin on the other hand just kept saying 'me don't go in water.'  Silly kid.  It was also nice to have daddy again. Kevin loves waking up, pulling on his favorite yellow and orange skirt and cuddling with his daddy in the morning.

After we'd been back a couple days, we met up with some friends at a lake in Mechelen (just 20 minutes away, you can get in free with a Technopolis annual pass).  I forgot to take any pictures until we were leaving.  The kids area is pretty shallow all the way around.  Kherington could touch even in the center of the lake. After we swam for awhile we stopped off at the playground to play and finish drying off.
