Day 6 I think
Good evening, all!
What a day. Forgive my punctuation, my capitalization and possibly my spelling. We just returned
From brussels and it is 10:45 pm I think that they FINALLY get what “Go to bed!” means. It is going to be a quiet night on floor three tonight. We started our day by going to Waterloo. Lots of kids climbed 352 steps up and 352 steps down the lion on the Mount, saw a 13 minute movie, toured a wax museum, and visited a Panorama. Then on in to brussels. A brief rehearsal in a beautiful church, a thanksgiving feast by the parents (you can ask them!) a wonderful concert, a walking tour and then dinner at the golden peacock. Great group picture on the square (sorry, will post by terry huge when we can) we broke out in song with another great cosmopolitan audience.
On the bus back with just a little sleeping. Great bus drivers today. Up tomorrow for a lace demonstration and canal cruise. Then SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!! More tomorrow. All is good! Thanks so much for the comments They are great!!!!!!

Can’t wait to see you all at the welcome home concert! Enjoy every last second!

Sounds like you all are having WAY too much fun–except for climbing all those steps! Good thing I’m not there; I’d never have made it. Rachel–it seems like you’ve been away forever. We miss you very much and can’t wait to see you. Hope you’re taking lots of pictures. Make sure you are in some of them! Love, love. xoxoxo
Just checking in and so glad I am still on the computer to see this blog. Wonderful photos and cannot wait to see more. Have fun shopping tomorrow! Eat some chocolate for me:)

Love reading your posts. Tell my Serth and Kev that all is well in Cincy. Took Phyllis and Grandma to Bingo last night and we won $628 collectively!! Reds swept three in LA–2 1/2 behind Brewers and 1 1/2 behind Cards. Keep on having fun. I hope I can hear your concert at home.
Glad you all are having a great time!
Hanna and Ellie–All the neighbors ask about how it is going on your trip every day. Everyone wishes you the best…AND they think you should come home soon to be available to babysit!
