Never mind the rain

Despite a constant drizzle in the afternoon we had a fun filled day yesterday at Plopsa Coo, a themepark here in Belgium. It was nice to do an outdoor activity with the entire family. I've been spending way too much time behind my computer lately and it just felt so good to be outside and watch the children play.

Our son is a real dare-devil and did about everything there was to do, just as we expected. Our daughter is not so keen but surprised us by doing much more than we had anticipated. She went on the mini karts after watching her brother doing a lap first and she even went on the rollercoaster. I don't think she'll be going on it again anytime soon though, because she got scared. She had chosen the front seat which made it of course even worse (both for her AND me because she was sitting between my legs). No tears though from my little girl. I think we were both glad when the ride was over.

Here's a little impression of our day:

Today I managed to finish the invitations for my son's birthday party, so that's one thing of my list. We still have to go shopping for his present : he asked for a telescope. He's actually been saving himself and we said we would chip in. It seems like a good present, one that the entire family can enjoy and (hopefully!) we'll learn something as well. I'll have to stop by the library to pick up some children's books on astronomy...
