Crowds of Brits

On Saturday the British come to Belgium to be tourists and shop. The Saturday market was so packed Cyndi felt claustrophobic with the buggy. So the kids went for a ride on a kiddee roller coaster.After lunch and nap we fought the crowds to get to the playground on the other side of the Gros Markt. This playground has a fail safe method for keeping little kids off the high slides. You have to go up a climbing wall to get up to the highest areas and no stairs even to the lower areas.

Welkom op het speelplein
Welcome to the play place

The boys were off racing. Jon did better today as he got a higher call-up and higher final placement despite a tumble or two. He says this is all training as he has not yet fully gotten his cross legs yet. You can see him tall in green near the front at the right center with his helmet still unbuckled, number 31 if you go to the next picture and article on cycling news. He was not ready at the start, which was why he lost time in the first few laps.
