Hi everyone!

As most of you know, Ray has accepted a 2-year assignment with Toyota's European Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. For those of you who do not know, Belgium is located next to France, Germany and the Netherlands. The home of NATO and the European Union, it is considered the "gateway to Europe" with its easy access to many European countries. (Hint, hint--good excuse to come and visit!)

Ray started his new position in February, 2008. The girls and I arrived here in late March. We are living just outside the city of Brussels in the commune of Tervuren, Belgium.

Although we are sad to temporarily leave our family and friends, we are excited for this adventure. What an opportunity to leave our tiny box and experience life outside of America!

"Plopsa" fun in Hasselt!

This week schools are shut down for winter/Carnival break. So today, my friend Tasha and I decided to take our girls to Plopsa Indoor Amusement Park in Hasselt, Belgium. About a 45-minute drive from Tervuren brought us to this young children's paradise. And this park is perfect for cold winter days since most of the park is situated indoors.


Although it is a small park (20 attractions on a surface of 2 football courts), it's packed w/lots of fun rides, play areas and even a fun, high-energy show that is sure to please any child. I was almost going to compare it to an indoor Adventure City, however, as Plopsa was built in December of 2005, it is, of course, much nicer. The scenery and layout of the park is charming and visually impressive.


Mommy and PS are right behind DS!! PS says "Wheee!!"

Since it was very crowded, we didn't get to ride or see everything in the park, but to entertain the kids for the day and have good company while doing it, well -- it was totally worth it!
