You may remember that super cool park we went to several months ago....Bloso Domein Hofstade....well, we went back today and thought we would try out the beach. It was in the 70s and sunny, so that calls for time spent outside. The cost was five euros per person, and we had to show our Belgian ID. Be sure to bring your's if you plan to visit. We asked about out of town visitors, and they said they would need their Passports for identification.

| When we arrived around 1:00, it was pretty empty. The water was cold, but the kids enjoyed swimming out to the platform and jumping into the lake. |
 |
| Poor Thomas is still so red and sore from our trip to the coast. Nothing says "I'm an American" like a swim shirt and bermuda shorts. Oh well! Turns out, we had more than enough clothes on....there were several little ones in their "birthday suits". Thankfully, their parents were clothed appropriately (by American standards.) |

| Daddy's girl! |
 |
| The beach was very clean and well maintained. There was also play equipment for the kids on the beach and two lifeguards on duty. |
 |
| The kids thought this inflatable was so much fun. Occasionally, there were 20+ kids on this thing. I was waiting for it to sink. |
 |
| This evening we went to the Cannon household for dinner. They live in one of the coolest houses I've seen here in Belgium....unique house, in-ground pool, acres of forest and walking trails....and cows. My kids are completely enthralled with the cows. We came out here for a swim on Thursday, and the cows came up to the fence. Tonight though, the kids thought they should go to the cows. |
 |
| No worries...we supervised and shouted things like, "Don't walk behind the cows...be careful...no running...watch for cow pies...." And, it really helped too. The kids were just fine. :) |
 |
| Here are all four kids in the field. Thomas is going to be a farmer, so he is really good with cows you know.....just ask him. |
 |
About half of the cows are Belgian Blues. These cows have double muscling and solid as a rock.
Sun, sand, and super friends makes for a splendid Saturday!
Until next time,
Wendy |
