MAS

Son #2 and 3 had a birthday party in the city of Antwerp, so we decided to visit the MAS, a museaum where they have brought several collections together. I must say it was spectacular to go to the roof and see the city from another angle. There was also a stand where you could write a message and place it in a glass bottle and if you left one, you take another onwe with you, so we are anxious to see what someone else wrote...
We finished our visit with some mussels with french fries which we bought from a local charity that was having a fundraiser.  Great idea, great mussels.

Last weekend before thenew schoolyear

As it was the last weekend before the schoolyear, DH and I took friday off that spend a last weekend with the kids. On friday monring we left for Aachen in Germany, were we spent the day.

 

The sun wasnt always shining but it was warm, so we had a nice day. We had a wedding the next day just across the border in Holland, so we stayed in a hotel in the village where the wedding party took place.



 

The next morning we had some time over before the wedding, so we took the kids to a local museum, which said in the brochure that it was about the local customs, mining activities, etc.

 

But once we entered the museum (which was free admission), it turned out to be a kids museum where they had all sorts of activities for kids. It is called Continium. There is also a kis laboratory, where they can make all sort of stuff, like:

SLIME...

A solar powered fan

 



a roman catapult

 



 A dino house

 



 

So it turned out that we didn t see much of the mueum, as we had to leave to go to the wedding.

I couldnt resist this picture of my cousins mustache tatoo...

Great wedding, fun party and a the end, we spent today in the museum as well. As the admission was still free, we looked through all the exhibitions and the kids, made a car that drives itself, some hairgell, shampoo, and a rocket launcher... So we really had a great weekend.
