Another Fun Day at Puyenbroeck!

About a month ago, we had a  fun day with some friends we have met here. We went back to Puyenbroeck and spent the day riding the train, playing on the playground, eating lunch, and mini-golfing. Here are some pictures from the day.
Getting ready to ride the train around the park

Needless to say, with four adults and four little kids, it took forever to finish our game of miniature golf. It didn't help that this was one of the most difficult miniature golf courses I have ever seen! However, the boys had a ton of fun!





 The hole below actually had a sand pit!!!





We are so thankful for the friends we've met here and for the time we were able to spend together! Other than Harrison getting stung by a bee in his mouth, we had a great day!

Zonked after playing all day!

Family Day at Puyenbroeck

This past weekend we took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent the day at a nearby park called Puyenbroeck. It was a much needed family day after being so busy with visitors over the past few weeks. It was nice to spend a relaxing day having fun and enjoying each other and the weather. As a side note, there are parks all over the place here. There are smaller parks all throughout the city, with larger parks here and there as well. The large parks are awesome because they are subsidized by the Belgian government. Therefore, they are really nice and free, or very affordable to enjoy. We have really enjoyed this little perk of being here. I thought I would share some pictures from our day.

We started our day with a train ride through the park. The boys loved riding this train!








After the train ride, we ate lunch at a little restaurant in the park. The restaurant was complete with an excavator and indoor playground!







After lunch, we enjoyed a paddle boat ride




The closest I could get to a picture of the four of us










Cameron was in charge of steering the boat
Just chillin'


Next, we took a nice hour long bike ride through the park. Cameron LOVED his little bike!






We stopped at a little play area during our ride for a water break and some fun.




Before we left for the day, we let the boys get out every last ounce of energy they had left in their little bodies at the huge playground.









There is so much more to do at this park that we just didn't have time for like miniature golf, swimming, a recreational/sports area, some kind of go kart type area, a ropes course, an animal park, a flower garden, and camping to name a few. I almost convinced myself that it would be fun to go camping there sometime...almost. For those of you who know me, you know how big of a step that would be for me! :) Anyways, we had such a wonderful day and we can't wait to go back again, hopefully soon!
