No, not THAT Brum, but this one!

Happy birthday Abram, Abe, Brum, Brummy, The Great Destroyer, and every other name we call you. It’s hard to believe he is 3. Since we did such a big trip around Ian’s birthday for the both of them, we stayed close to home this weekend but still had some good times. Abe really wanted to see a castle and there is no shortage of castles here in Belgium. We actually ended up going to a citadel in the city of Namur. It isn’t quite a castle but more a fortress protecting the city. We saw some buildings that were built in the 11th century. Here is a picture from across the river:

It was a really cool series of buildings lining the hill. There was an old roman amphitheater there too, but a rock concert was being held there that same day so we didn’t get to explore the amphitheater. Here are some pics from up top:

Well, we all know how I like birthdays and I think they should be celebrated, so of course we celebrated all weekend long. On Sunday we spend the day at the zoo and playgrounds and out to dinner that evening. Ian even let Abe play his Nintendo DS.

Here is a pic I took of the birthday boy!

And here is a picture that Abe took of his big brother
