Happy 4th of July!!!!

So, the Army garrison here in Brussels put on a few 4th of July festivities on Saturday July 2nd.  First off was a 5K run/walk in the morning, which we participated in with our friends Nick, Maren and John David's BFF, Julia.  We walked because David/Dad didn't want to run, which worked out just fine, because we got to spend a nice leisurely walk chatting with our friends.  Afterwards, Nick, Maren and Julia came over to our house for brunch.  That evening, we went to the American School, where the garrison held a little carnival, with food and activities for the kids.  There were also fireworks, but unfortunately, we missed those, in order to make it back for bedtime.  It doesn't even get dark here until after 10:30 pm; that would make for one over tired toddler.  Maybe next year!      


Notice we are in long sleeves and coats.  It was in the low 60s all day and downright chilly in the shade.  Ridiculous for the first week in July!
