Description
We are a family of 5. We have three boys age 14, 12 and 8. We also have two cats, dog (small one) and a hamster. So you can imagine that there is always something happening in the house. The house is big anough and we have a seperate room to stay. And during the summer we put up a swimming pool in the garden.
We live in a quiet village between Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp. And these are easily accessible via public transportation.
The kids have different interests the oldest has started taking horseback riding lessons, he also does some fitness training, The middle one goes wall climbing and the youngest is still thinking about what he likes to do. Most of the time they play together (chasing each other in the house or in the garden or playing on their game computer,...) and they get along good (with the occasional quarrels ;-)).
We like to go mountainbiking (although we're not super good at it), walking, dansing,... . I love boardgames (unfortunately my wife doesn't), so we have often friends over for a game. We also love animals, my wife is a vet and she has her practice accross the street.Types of help and learning opportunities
