BBQ

We had a BBQ, and a lot of people showed up. I think mostly to visit with Hayli! Anyway, Hayli had a great time with Tante and the trampoline. I wonder if the small trapoline at the gymnastics class will still excite her now!

Swimming

Today we went to the Overijse pool to go swimming. Hayli loves the water and boy did she love swimming with Tanta Elisabeth!

Paradisio

Today we went to Paradisio in Belgium. We never went before, so we figured we should go... our expectations were low, but we ended up having a great time.

Hayli fed a deer up close!

Then Hayli wanted to get a good look at ALL the animals...

We had such a good time, but we weren't the only ones. It seems that the park keeps these animals so happy that they dance!!! The elephants did it...

but so did the porcupine (turn your head to view this one)...

Plopsa Indoor - Hasselt

What does one do when the weather outside is typical Belgian (rainy!) and the baby wants to do something? Well, they go to the indoor amusement park! I was amazed!

Hayli enjoyed the carousel ride... she rode it at least three times!

They had a great play area too...

I think Hayli's favorite ride was probably the ducky ride.

Hayli went on the froggy ride with Moeke.

Then there was fishing for duckies... do you see the theme? LOL!

Hanging Around the House

Believe it or not -- there are some days that we just do not get to leave the house. Even on those days though... Hayli keeps me plenty busy!

For The Love of Strawberry Pie

We discovered that Hayli loves the fresh Belgian food. Her absolute favorite is the strawberry pies with pudding centers. YUMMY!!!

Before...

During...

After...

Hayli sure does love her strawberry pie! LOL

Sweet Baby

Today was rather uneventful. We were very busy... lots to do at the townhall to get Hayli's Belgian passport! But otherwise, just uneventful. We did go to the Belgian doctor for a regular check up. Hayli has made a new friend - Mr. Bear. Mr. Bear is almost as tall as Hayli. I think she may be wondering why he doesn't want to play with her.

Hayli is also learning the art of feeding Vincent, our ChowChow doggy!
