Japan in Belgium

Another excursion we made was to the Japanese Garden.



We turned it into an overnight weekend trip and combined it with a trip to Bokrijk (blogpost yet to come).


The weather was slightly overcast but still warm and it wasn't very crowded so it made for a pleasant walk. Though for Caitlin 'walking' can never be considered as 'pleasant'. When we asked the kids at the end of the day whether they had "a fun day", her answer was: "Fun day?!? We hade to WALK all day!". It was actually pretty funny!
Afterwards we went to the playground.
Yes, that's my son in the red shirt, and yes, he did go up higher. I got a little worried when he let go of the ropes to stand on the top platform and I watched him while he was clearly considering jumping to the lower platform...
He decided against it and saved my heart from skipping a few beats. He's such a daredevil. Just like his mom not! ;)
