The 4th of July (blog music: star s. banner)

How does one celebrate the 4th of July in Belgium?
We'll the kids and I could have fired up the BBQ, ran around waving American flags chanting "USA" "USA", and lighting off fireworks in the streets but people can be so picky when it comes to either hamburgers or hot dogs (ha ha).
Therefore, we did the next best thing, pancakes in the Center. We all enjoyed a warm chocolate covered pannekoeken at one of the cafes in the Center's main square. The boys had a great time eating their pancakes; Thomas had chocolate all over his face. Yes, the country was different, there were no small town parades, no fireworks, and no flags. But the evening we spent eating pancakes and watching the boys run around, was just as good!
I almost forgot, the Coca Cola never tasted so great!
