Mini-escape

A rare day with no concrete plans or work that needed to be done, so my parents, Son#3 and I decided to go to Antwerp.
Lovely day, a comfortable 19 degrees, sunshine galore.

First we went to Kasteel den Brandt 



where we met an English nanny who gave us bread to feed the ducks.



Then we saw a strange man who lay on the grass with his legs up in the air, only to meet him crossing the bridge with a smile a few minutes later (whatever he did must have worked).
See him there,  a tiny blip under the tree on the right:


Then across the road to walk to Middelheim




where we sat in the sun with wine, coffee and beer while Son#3 played with the gravel and looked cute.


And I mean, he looked cute.



Then we took a walk through the park and admired all the gorgeous sculptures, including my favourite polar bear by Pompon (that looked cold and needed a scarf)



until it was time to go home again to pick Son#1 and Son#2 up from school.

Tonight the husband and I are off to have a wedding anniversary dinner.  
Yay!
