Part 2: Sarah's Saturday and Sunday 17 &18 August 2007: Sarah has a GREAT weekend away with her little family at a lovely farm!


Sarah says:
Sorry for the swimsuit photo but I had to get at least one SUMMER photo in here this year! It wasn't even very warm outside! But there was a pool where we stayed and we just had to take advantage of it! My kid had a blast! It was so great swimming right next to a field of pretty horses. My kid cried when we left because she had had such a great time! We turned our phones off. Didn't watch any TV. No computers! It was pure nature, all family. Wonderful and about time!

In the above photo, you can see me with my sister horse. Don't we look alike?

Look how red we are? It wasn't even that warm or sunny but the sun was strong enough to turn us a little red. You can't see it, but in the above photo we are sitting in a huge, empty field of straw watching the sun go down. Lovely!

The above photo was taken on Sunday. We visited the sloping lock of Ronquieres. We took a boat ride on it and had to walk 25 minutes back to the main place. Of course just then it rained so hard and we got so wet. But it didn't ruin our day or mood. We had such a fab time!

Above you can see the old but restored farmhouse where we stayed. It's not the best photo. I'll try to post some others later so you can see just how pretty it all was! If you get the chance, I urge you all to go stay there. It's called Haras de Baudemont in Ittre, about 15 minutes south of Brussels. It's a perfect place for a family get-away if you want rest and relaxation. Only 8 people at a time can stay there. It's perfect for kids around 8 years old who are into horses. We will certainly return!
