After nap on Mother's Day we took a drive to the Belgian Coast, a town by the name of Oostende. When we left Tervuren the weather that afternoon the weather was sunny and warm. As we approached the coast it was cloudy and colder. We arrived at the beach to find a nice sandy beach, boardwalk and a very cold sea. The boys did not mind the cold water, they splashed around and played in the sand for a few hours. Then we had a wonderful dinner at a place called Valentino. The staff there was very nice, spoke english, had crayons for the kids-which is not common here at all (crayons). The weather held out till after dinner and ice cream, but started raining just in time to walk back to the car. It is Belgium after all.

We were also lucky to get our swing set this month. Thanks to help from Andres, Stacey, Jenn and Dan we (Greg and the guys) were able to get it put together in 2 days about 9 hours total. The boys have loved playing and swinging. My mom came again for a visit from the 11th-19th and while she was here Aidan learned to pump the swing himself and Jaxon learned how to blow his nose, he is only 2 years so that is an amazing accomplishment.
I had to find Jax a infant style swing and the only one we could find is a Hello Kitty swing that is hot pink and purple. It works, although I did have to do some creative setup. The hooks attached to the swing are too big to fit in the hooks of the set so I used zip ties to attach the swing, so far so good.
Overall, May has been a pretty good month here. Greg was gone a lot. But while my mom was here we had a chance to go to the King Tut exhibit, dinner and a movie all in one night. Thanks mom for babysitting :)
