Camping

We just finished commissioning our new tent in the back garden, having breakfast after having slept in it last night - approved and ready for REAL camping now!

 

I slept beautifully in my new sleeping bag. I love it :-)

Jaccuzi

I love splashing and playing in the jaccuzi...my parents are not so happy with me...well it's water and it's a pool with some bubbles so why worry?
I am just going for another big splash, before dinner and a movie ahead of sleeping in our tent.

Medieval Fair

T'is the season for Medieval fairs!

 Fernelmont Castle. 

I am all dressed up - a little hot - very happy to have unhealthy drinks and food as well as watch the fighting, try a bit myself, do some archery after all my practise in our own garden (well now it's with real bow and arrow).

Football Cards

Another panini football card collection to keep me occupied and quiet for hours when my parents eventually give in and go shopping to get cards and the book...but I do continue and keep asking to go back again and encourage buying all sorts of products to get more cards...my mummy gave in on the chocolate bar and yoghurt purchases.

Portugal

Party time - we went to Portugal for 5 days, visited family in Porto and spent 2 nights in Obidos.

unca pensei ver Os Azeitonas ao vivo, mas olha... calhou por coincidência (festas da cidade, de borla).

Verdade seja dita que os gajos (e gaja) até são bons!

 — Cidade Caldas Da Rainha.

Party time in Caldas da Rainha - Azeitonas band from Porto and fire works, then next day breeding horses for races  and after to the cinema.

Wow, chilly so everyone is inside having dinner or gone home smile emoticon I love to read so I am taking advantage of no people in the road to walk around to read my comic book. My parents loved the dinner...I was a bit fussy.

Annual school & sports parties

Busy weekend... yesterday, annual school party (playing a woodcutter in the big show) and today demonstrating my karate skills in the annual Animer party - both in front of large audiences.

Also today I took a ride in papa's scooter (in the passenger seat, of course...) for the 1st time. Loved it!

Mother's day!

Today was mother's day in Belgium. I made myself a fantastic bag for mummy at school, wrote a congratulations card in English all by myself and even chose the flowers myself - mummy seemed to love it!

Football

Official football season is now over (ends really early in Belgium!) - time for tournaments, now; first one was last week in Fôret. Team, from left to right:

Top: Matteo, Ayoub, Anael, Tiago, Evan.
Bottom: Alexis, Basile, Gabriele, Elliot, Max, Soren.

 

I think I played 15 minutes over 4 hours - I did not mind - I think my parents did...

Lego battle

I have created my own lego battlefield - legos with special powers, weapons, armoury and defence, space crafts flying and ground...
The battle begins...

Pairi Daiza

I had a lovely afternoon in Pairi Daiza (closed garden - paradise), seeing the animals and visiting the temples and gardens while playing with my friends Florian and Audrey. I fed the goats when we arrived. We saw so much - lions, leopards, snowleopard, cheetahs, elephants, red panda, two giant pandas where one was enjoying eating his bamboo, heard and saw the screeching otters waiting for their food, white rhinos, hippo and birds of prey. We saw a show where the birds flew very close to the heads.

Football Tournament

My first football tournament - we played in Foret and spent more time just playing amongst ourselves than any competitors. I didn't complain as I just love to play football with my friends.

We got a medal for participating.

After with my parents, we had tapas downtown Brussels...to put back all those calories I lost.

School

It was the school run today and we all took part in the 7.5 km race. I did it in 40 mins 30 secs, Papá did it in 43 mins with his horrible pollen allergies and Mamã in 45 minutes.
Is that sweat or was it also raining after the race?

After we relaxed all day :-)

Visitors - England

Grandma and Ti'pah came to stay for a 10 days. The weather was lovely so we played ball, cricket, frissbee in the garden. Anael came to stay for a night and day too. We made brownies and chocolate 'rice crispees/fitness flakes', we went for walks, we went to Quick and shopping. I even cut the grass :-) At the weekend we had lunch in Le Milord our usual place on Saturday and Cafe' Nero in Hoeilart our new place on Sunday. We visited the military museum which had a special exhibition on WWI - very well done, loads and loads of information with some rooms decorated in the former times. We also visited the flower (mainly tulip) garden too - which Grandma and Ti'pah very much enjoyed - I took them through the maize and around every flower bed and flower display in half of the grounds. There were also people dressed up in Venetian clothes so I could not miss the opportunity for a few photo shoots :-)
