Thanks to a deal online, we took a 2-day family vacation to the French Alps. 5 of us (my sister's here visiting) packed into a small room decorated for ski season but a perfect launch pad for a summer of mountain viewing. We spent our days outside hiking, picnicking, swimming, and exploring. God's creation is a great place to go.
A fun part of the trip came when a very nice couple, err family (2 adults and their pet bird... they were close), from Monaco wandered by our picnic while they were shooting photos. They asked for some help in their 'family' shots and then offered to do the same for us. Immediately, they were infatuated with Sawyer. They talked to him, they laughed when he did, and they asked that he be included in some of their pictures. Then they could barely tear themselves away from him and his emphatic "au revoir"s on their departure. The obsession with him ran so deep that this (following) was the first photo they took of our family. Hey man, you see me up here!?

Okay, May 2012, be on the look out for a refugee from Paducah!
What sort of swimwear are ya sportin' there, sir? They certainly didn't let you in with your swim trunks on!
Ha, MB- I actually forgot my "french casual" spandex headband-turned swimwear. Totally unintentional. So I profited from the 'no lifeguard on duty' and snuck in with my trunks. I got some looks, but the smile of my kid won 'em over and they let the American be.
Jimmie- come on over brother!
Beautiful pictures. Family ones included. Amazing journey for you guys. Can't wait for a visit. Gail and I are making plans to come to France. I think it will be in 2013! So look for the 4 Senior Adults with golf clubs in hand :) Love you all.
I think we can handle some seniors over here in 2013 Lisa! Be forewarned though, dinner doesn't start here until at least 7:30 pm, and they don't always cook the meat real good... :)
