Summertime...

Summer has officially hit Brussels and I've decided it's time to put the blog on hold until the kids go back to school. Summer break goes from July 1st - August 31st, and we are planning on using every minute of those 2 months to scour Europe, or at least plan our adventures to do so. As such, besides maybe the occasional check-in, I'm signing off for the summer. The kids have been using this last week to learn how to be nice siblings (I'm quickly realizing why parents are so eager for summer vacation to be over!) and we have been hitting up as many venues around Brussels as possible. Yesterday we headed up to Antwerp to check out the cathedral there and we also hit this really great Antique Market. Ryan picked up this fantastic old telescope that will be perfect in his office/den/man room someday and we bought Brayden a super-old-school magnifying glass that will be perfect for all of his adventures. I think he's going to be stoked when his birthday comes around. I'll leave you with some pictures of what we have been up to the last little bit. {pictures courtesy of my brother Nathan}
