The Pilsons visit 2013!!

We were so happy that my sis and her family were getting to come visit us for a second time.  This time we didn't give them much rest!  The day they arrived it was Tervuren park time and a little surprise concert in the city center!  And we could walk there so that was an extra benefit!

Tervuren park is within walking distance from our house and it's beautiful!  This is where I had my maternity pics made too.

We then walked from the park to the city center (where most everything is in each commune..post office, restaurants, police station, etc) and had to get some ice cream of course!!

SHE LOVED IT!

We even got a surprise concert!  For how little our city center is, this stage is huge!

The music was in Dutch of course, but everything is better with beer.  Right?  Yes, of course I kept this groovy beer caddy :)

The next morning the Pilsons were off to London!  Unfortunately, I couldn't go with them but they had fun and loved it!

My sis was with us for her birthday, so we had to take her out on the town.  I luckily have great friends that took us all out that night.  It was a blast with tiny, yummy burgers and some fun dancing!!

July the 4th!!

18 mths!

We were off to Brugge to start our Independence Day celebration.....

The boys stayed with my friend....so it was a girls day, plus James :)

Big cheeser!

She spotted the swans!

My fave pic of the day!

Mommy and E cruising the canal

Every time we would go under a bridge, the girls would raise their arms up to try to touch it....then E had to join in on the fun

Brugge is such a nice, quaint town.  Lots of shopping and good food.  There is even a movie that was made here called "In Bruges."

It was a great July the 4th that ended with a cookout with friends!!  Can't get any better than that!


Next we head to Germany.....
