After some concern in yesterday's vlog as Andy was sick, plus further worries that we might not made the EuroTunnel in time, we made it to Belgium after all, and in plenty of time for Andy to head to the Belfry in Bruges for a 47 Carillon bell-ringing concert. He was very impressed!

ABOUT THE CHAPMAN FAMILY
Hello folks and welcome to The Chapman Family! We are Kevin (dad), Anna (mum), Lucy (age 17), Andy (age 15), Amy (age 13) and Dave (around 35 in dog years).
We're daily family vloggers with new videos out at 5pm every day UK time. We vlog about our daily lives, including life as an autism family (Andy is autistic) and lots of nerdy stuff because we just can't help ourselves!
We'd love to have you join us on the road to 100K and share our journey with us! Hit SUBSCRIBE and don't forget to TURN THE NOTIFICATIONS ON!
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHAPMAN FAMILY
When Kevin left his full-time job as a Computer Science teacher in July 2017, Anna was trapped in our house by our son Andy, who is autistic and had refused to go to school for 18 months. Our daughters Lucy and Amy and our dog Dave hardly saw him because he was always working to try and solve all our problems! Today we're full-time content creators and Kevin is always at home when the kids get home from school (all our kids!) and Anna has been able to return to university. This channel is the story of my family's ongoing journey as family vloggers! Previously known as lollujo Vlogs and Kevin Chapman.

It’s strange how much compassion you can feel over someone else’s child! Seeing the clip of Andy at the front with a plate of hot food made me so proud!
That was the first thing I noticed. That boy has come so far. I congratulate Anna and Kevin. TH-cam seems to be the best thing you ever did for him. Go Andy
Not all step dads are bad, my stepdad has been in my life since I was 3, I’m 23 now and he has done and will do anything for me
Fish fingers and bells = a very happy Andy!
It's wonderful to see Andy so excited and enjoying himself in a new place, especially considering that it wasn't long ago that his anxiety kept him housebound. You guys are wonderful parents.
He just seems so happy and healthy lately. It's great to see.
Wow look at Andy with that restaurant plate of food. Thanks for sharing these moments with us, he looks so happy and healthy 😊😊
Andy looks so happy. I’m glad he’s having a great time.
Hi Kev! I was thinking while Andy was on his iPad, how does he cope with big software updates, with iOS 13 being released soon, as it changes how the device looks, like the app layout.
James Kocheff he meant how the layout will look
Anon 06 His iPad is too old mate
Hello Kev , Anna and Andy. I'm just amazed by the way Andy is handling himself recently. First with the hair cut earlier in the week and now his 1st day in Belgium. Its amazing how much he has changed from 2 years ago. All my congratulations go out to both of you 👍
So strange how emotional a person (this person) can get watching a vlog of someone else's child sitting at a restaurant eating fish fingers off of a plate with other food on that plate and not even really noticing it was there. Everytime I see Andy in a setting like this, traveling around, sleeping in hotels, I think of him refusing to leave the house for a year and poor Anna basically a hostage in that house. Andy's progress is absolutely amazing and the two of you are some of the best examples of how to parent a child with autism with love, patience, and never giving up on your child. Not all hero's wear capes. Some wear cheeky T-shirts.....
Well done Chapman family. Just.....incredibly well done!
I am so glad you are making so Many memories👍❤️
I’m glad you made it there, hope your have a GREAT time 👍
How did he like the loft bed? Do you think he'd like one for his room with the underspace being used as a mini sensory area with lights and hung curtain from the bed
That's a good idea
Bruges in beautiful - I've been a couple of times in December and with the Christmas markets as well it's awesome - albeit extremely cold.
I'd recommend Brussels for another time as it's chock full of trams for Andy and there's plenty of bells and a light show with the churches too at Christmas. And a comic book museum if Kev's into stuff like Tintin, I know you like your comics.
Congrats Andy! He looks so happy in the intro
It was lovely to see the sheer enjoyment he got out of those bells, thanks for sharing.
That place is beautiful!! Andy has made marvelous progress!! The world is really opening up for him ❤
I love it when Andy does his enthousiastic Wow
Really glad you made it after yesterdays vlog :)
The bells are wonderful! Not just good! I don’t think they use all 47 in one song. You’ll know today if there is a song that does use all 47 bells.
Andy never ceases to amaze! Drinking water, and out of a bottle, sitting in a light rain, eating a menu item at a restaurant that’s not McDonald’s. Wow!
Thank you for the mini tour. I love the architecture! These mini trips to different countries is wonderful for me, I doubt I’ll ever get to see such a beautiful city.
You guys are awsome parents 🤗 xx
I didn't know Google had an AR street view setting, will use that a lot from now on.
It's so cool you can get to Belgium within a few hours! I live in the US and have never been to Europe before (Next year will be the first time I do.)
Truly Awesome what an amazing trip to take him on!!! He is so in his element. Best Andy/family vacation and to see the wonderful sparkle in his eye of pure joy is heart warming! Kudos Mum and Dad for this incredibly thoughtful holiday destination, which I imagine is simply magical for Andy! Hope you have a great time exploring the world and may there be many more adventures to come for you all! Many Blessings 💜 from NZ. 🌟🇳🇿💫
Wow Andy has grown up so fast recently. I cant believe how deep his voice has gotten. Such a lovely young man
Watching Kevin wind up Anna is the funniest thing in the world. Reminds me of my parents lol
i went to bruges in October and I stayed in that exact hotel
Did anyone else cry when the bell concert started Andy was having the time of his life
This was amazing! Andy doing so many new things and you being able to have a fairly decent sightseeing evening. Love the hotel room.
Belgium fries and in Holland known as Dutch fries are the best!!! 😋 We lived in Netherlands as my partner is Dutch and now in NZ, we travel 40 mins away to where we found Dutch fries. My son who has ASD, who has always had food and drinking issues loves Dutch fries. They are totally a meal 😊!!!
That bottle of water is great. Eating a meal with you is great.
Anna's face at 5.09 is like 'This aint Premier Inn' lol :D
If you go to the right of the belfry then there is a Christmas shop and really good waffle shop. Then there is another smaller square where there is some of Jesus’ blood
3:52 yellow car punch! No returns
Tell Andy .... he is good lookin with that hair cut! Especially with the hat. I bet you'll get more views now. Lookin good, Andy... He sure is growin up! Hi Andy!!!! -Nina from Chicago
Oh my goodness someone will sleep wonderfully tonight!
Oh yeah, you guys probably will too. Love Ya Lots.
seeing how far andy has come within the past year just makes me so happy. kevin and anna you're doing an incredible job. :)
Glad to see you guys made it, have fun.
ANDY YOU ARE AWSOME!!!XO
Wow this place looks like Andy's heaven lol
Enjoy bruges!. I only knew about C&A in Belgium due to my brother living out there. Enjoy Belgium is beautiful.
Great video thanks for shareing Belgum looks a very interesting place looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip.enjoy hope ye have a fab time. It was great seeing Andy so excited with the bells and the progress hes making is brilliant. He makes me smile.💙💙💙💙💙
Brillaint vlog so good to see andy get so much from the trip never been to belgium. Looks likeits worth a visit
So glad you made it! Bruges is an awesome place!
i wonder if anyone has done TV theme tunes on bells...that would be cool.
Glad to see andy is better and back to himself
Class Vlog keV , enjoyed that immensely
You made it to Belgium after all.
I luv this type of videos' when you all out and about in the cities
Brilliant vlog and amazing how well Andy is progressing with new things 👍
Good for him it's hard doing new things with autism as I have it
Great video as always 👍🏻❤️
I went to Brugge about 3 years ago
Hey Kev, thank you for making these videos, they're entertaining and educate people about Autism. Keep up the great work
Bruges looks so pretty. Such a good deal for £7 with club card points
Hey Kev, with Andy liking trams so much and now being comfortable travelling abroad, you could always go to Lisbon next.
They have some really historic trams and I think Andy would love it, plus the weather isn't too bad either😂.
Kev, is your car male of female? could you ask andy?
I was Literally There at the same place about 5 days ago
Good you made the trip to Belgium 😎
Hope you enjoy your visit in my home country! delicious fries right :)
Got to say, as a Belgian I am happy to see you enjoyed or food and one of our more known cities :D
Great vlog kev Belgium looks lovely even better at night glad you all made it to after yesterday's vlog how was the stew?
I love the vids Kev keep it up, only one thing that gets me thinking sometime because the titles always say “autistic boy....” but I thought it was meant to be a family vlog, I know a lot of people talk about Andy and Andy is on the vlogs a lot but you say it’s a family vlog channel but I see more of Andy than anyone and the titles are always revolves around him
When someone is searching on TH-cam they aren’t going to search for family listen to bells but they will and do search the term “autistic” which will then put the channel in their search results and suggested to watch list. Plus Kev was literally saying this week that it will likely soon just be him on the channel and less it Andy and the rest of the family
You're seeing more of Andy because he's on summer break when school starts back up we won't see much of him and yes these are family vlogs but there also insight for caretakers of neuro divergent people on day to day tips and tricks to make travel, diets and schooling possible/ go more smoothly
Imaginary Enemy makes sense, of course I wasn’t complaining because I love seeing how Andy handles situations and what he’s interested in and stuff but I just wondered why. Still love the vlogs and always will :)
I have austim and I go to Belgium for my interests of the war
Oh my god I stayed in one of those hostels when I went to Belfast, it was the exact same room and I though it was so cute and modern, I was the unlucky one who had to stay on the top bunk
Hi you probably will not read this but if you do I would like to say you have made so much progress all yore stuff is interesting and keep up the work on helping Andy because I have seen a big difference in him he was more aggressive and did not talk as much but now it's the complete opposite I love yore channel so much like I said keep up the Good work 💯💯👍
the air is *T H I C C*
That is a tiny hotel room!
I want to go to Belgium!
Tuesday 28th May
5:25 Andy weeing 😂😂😂
Germany has Woolworths still
That was a funny hotel room but great for £7 ahaha
I can’t be the only person who is thinking of the film “In Bruges” 😂
Indeed, makes you look at that bell tower in very different way!
I dont like going to places i dont no, too much anxitey
Do you think Andy will cope with having to shave eventually or can u see him having a beard lol.
wow I havent watched this series in a few weeks and his voice has broken
Do you live in Lincolnshire?
Can Andy tell the difference between tap water and bottled water?
You can have trains with cars in it?
Im mind blown :o
It’s a train full of cars that goes under the sea!
@@kevinchapmanvlog That's awesome, I wanna go on it now :D
