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!

Pods of fun at Boudewijn Seapark



One
of our last summer outings (in Belgium) was a trip to Boudewijn Seapark, aka the Dolphin Park, in Brugge.


The girls had a BLAST watching the Dolphin and Birds of Prey Shows, riding an endless number of rides, and playing in the outdoor and indoor playgrounds.

We lost count how many times we rode the rollercoaster!

We went on a perfect day with mostly sunny and warm weather and surprisingly small crowds. This allowed the girls to ride just about every ride at least twice!

DS & PS want to sit in the very back -- aargh!
Another favorite...

Mommy got a work out lugging the raft to the top! (Twice!)

In fact, by the time we got home, the girls talked Daddy's ear off about their "super-exciting" day!
