July 1st was our last night with the Keown family in Brussels. Of course, they couldn't leave Brussels without a farewell dinner at Hard Rock Cafe! I'm guessing that will be our farewell dinner spot as well.
 |
| Someone was pretty excited about her milkshake. |
 |
| But then this happened…. |
 |
| And well, she wasn't so happy anymore. Poor thing. |
 |
| The boys spent most of the time watching the World Cup. Addicted! |
 |
| The whole group (minus me…your trusty photographer.) What an awesome send off! |
 |
| It's always ribs for these boys. |
 |
| Allison is going to miss Preslee so much. |
 |
| Really?! |
 |
| I made Lucinda a Shutterfly book of all of our adventures together (57 pages worth!) I was sad I forgot to include the Nickelback concert from last November. That was a great night. |
 |
| Starbucks for the girls. |
 |
| The WHOLE group! :) |
 |
| Friends for a lifetime. |
 |
| I held it together very well. The kids decided to spend the night with each other. We took Pres, and they took Thomas, so we were able to say goodbye one more time before they left for the airport in the morning. We'll see each other again. That I know! |
 |
| Someone is drinking that Starbucks as fast as she can before it gets taken away from her. LOL! |
 |
| One final Vastine/Keown shot in Brussels. |
 |
So sad to say farewell to these two. We've had a lot of fun together!
As we were leaving, Lucinda handed me a Shutterfly book. She too had made one, but she remembered the Nickelback concert. I love our friendship. |
The following day was the Belgium vs. USA game. What are Americans living in Belgium supposed to do with this situation??
 |
| I loved their Instagram posts! |
That evening (before the match) we attended Ommegang in the Grand Place. Ommegang is the historical portrayal of the festival/processional that was held in 1549, but Ommegang dates back to 1359 when it was mostly religious in nature. The procession starts at the Sablon Church and ends in the Grand Place.
 |
| We attended with the Kring family. About half way through, Chris cut out to go to Hard Rock to watch the match. We joined him after. |
 |
| Loved the stilts! |
 |
| Front row seats at the bar at Hard Rock. |
 |
| They were so excited about the Red Devils' win. Next time, we'll be living in the USA, and I am sure they will be cheering for the US again. |
 |
Too bad I don't have pictures of them hanging out of the car windows and celebrating with the other Belgians at 1:00 am. They were hilarious and will remember that night always.
Next up…the Knepps return from Italy!
Until next time,
Wendy |
