Belgium

... or, you know, Belgie (with a squiggle on the E).

A few weeks ago we packed up the car (again!) with just us and the kiddos to visit some family in Belgium (Love you Aunt D!) and to see the US play Belgium in a soccer game (more about that later). The drive went pretty smooth-- even with a newly potty trained Cameron!

Andrew was super excited to enter Belgium!

... and so was Nathaniel.


;) Just kidding. He just didn't know I was taking his picture. Good driving, Honey!

I saw this cool door!


But, I thought it would look even cooler w/a poser in front of it...

Ahh. THERE we go.

*giggle* He is so cute.

We're a team. I'm have the vision, and he makes it happen. Dream Team, right here!

My sweetheart got me a waffle. We had to! We're in Belgium! Belgian waffles, y'all! I've gotta tell you, though. They were a bit disappointing. Still. When in Belgium, do as the Belgians do. Eat Waffles. And-- visit their famous statue in Brussels:

Manneken Pis. And- pose like one of the bussed-in tourists in front of the silly thing.

I have to admit, the first thing out of my mouth when I saw him was "is that it?" He's really a short statue... but apparently so novel, that people flock from all over the globe to admire this naughty boy taking a public potty break.

Traveling in style-- as always. I think one of these days I'll need to set up a camera on the front of the stroller to capture all of the looks that come our way.. Especially when all THREE are having tantrums (like they were 5-minutes before I took this picture).
