a few days with friends....

Our friends the donkey and horse....

Seb wielding his sword stick.

A pretty little garden we stumbled upon next to the church.

My friend's daughter Madeline and their donkey.

The view from their house where we stayed for a few days.

Sebastian and Oliver...the soccer buddies.

The gang...

You can never have too much ice cream.

A nice bridge we came across on our walk.

Sunglasses

misc...oldies....

Now and Then

A visit to the Colline aux Oiseaux proves that Sebastian is indeed

eating his vegetables.

Soccer! and more soccer!

About to dive into his picnic lunch after a morning of stopping balls.

Stephane said I looked like a soccer mom with my headband.

Yes, perhaps, but it was COLD out. And, did I forget to mention that it was all day?

Look Mom, I'm wearing my hat!

This pic is was taken several weeks earlier.

Happy Easter!

Sebastian really enjoyed decorating the tree.

La famille

Samurai Sebastian cutting the chocolate chicken, oh, I mean the cake.

The hand painted bowl is a gift from Annick, as well as all of the delicious chocolate.

And the obligatory after meal promenade/rugby punts/exercise bike......

taking in some art

Alright.....here's how it unrolled.

Nothing was touched, broken, no alarms.

The first painting was fairly neutral.

Perhaps this one was less of a success with Sebastian,

he looks like he just bit into a sour lemon.

So being the good parents,

the next tableau with a decapitated head had parental supervision.

Group discussion and recap.
