This weekend has been VERY busy, to say the least! Friday was Brandon's first day of school, and we had an Open House there at noon with hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. We met his teacher and the rest of the staff there and had a great meal. Then it was on to KB for more fun. Each year they hold a Friendship Day, where we invite our landlords and other locals who are a part of our lives here in Belgium, and celebrate with great food and fun. It's an awesome way to get to know them better, and everyone has a super time. The fellows at the chow hall put on a great spread. They had barbecue chicken, ribs, potato salad, beans, and the list goes on. Of course, there was lots of beer. It wouldn't be Belgium without it.
There was karaoke, face painting and a bouncy castle for the little ones, and a dunking take full of officers and Senior NCO's. One of the highlights of the evening was the live band made up of our airmen. They were fantastic! We wrapped the evening up with a beautiful fireworks display. (The only one who didn't enjoy it was the poor deer who ran running for his life at the first explosion!) Saturday brought a day of running errands and then another party. Our neighbors put on a great Barbecue Saturday night. More fun and great food! (And yes, beer!) Whew! Is it any wonder that we slept late this morning? I'm tired just writing this all down! It's early yet today, so we might just fit in another adventure. That is, if the boy ever gets out of bed!
