Tervuren Park

Today we went to the Tervuren park. Hayli really did seem to enjoy herself!

Hayli and Vincent...

While Conrad, Grandpa, and I were away in Germany going to a business meeting for ACN, Hayli stayed in Overijse with Moeke and Tantie. We were gone for 3 days, and Hayli really seemed to enjoyed her time away from the parentals.

Our Street, The River?

The past couple of weeks have been filled with rain. There have been several evenings that Conrad and I would just look at each other and say, "Guess we are staying in tonight!". Last night was another night of rain... but Hayli was at Oma's and we had to go and get her (I missed her too much to leave her!). So, off we went... this is what we encountered.

Horsie

Today we went to Jayden's 2nd BDay party. Hayli's favorite part? Well, that would be Jayden's horsie... She liked the horsie so much we almost missed singing "Happy Birthday" to Jayden!

White Sands Hot Air Balloon Invitational

I have wanted to go to a hot air balloon launch since we moved to NM. Unfortunately, we have always been unable to attend the big events. This year, however, there was a launch at White Sands National Park. It was a lot of fun. At first, Hayli was very scared of the noise the balloons made when the pilots put more hot air into the balloon. I guess if you don't understand what is going on, the noise is very loud and can be very scary. We enjoyed our early morning (by early I mean we were up at 5:30 am to go to this event) hot air balloon launch! My favorite balloon was the monster balloon! Hayli's criterion for her favorite balloon was that is was way up in the air... the higher the better!

Surfer Girl!

We took advantage of another great NM day, and went swimming at Oma's and Opa's house. It was a lot of fun. Daddy is teaching Hayli how to be a surfer girl!

Labor Day

Today we went over to Oma's and Opa's house to celebrate Labor Day. Today was the first time that Hayli attempted to play frisbee (or BEE as Hayli calls it). She sure caught on quick!

It was so nice to spend some time in the pool. It had been a long time for Hayli. She sure did love it!

I know that Hayli loves corn -- just like her mama -- but straight from the cob??? Really???
