Today we returned to Toulouse to visit our favourite “spider web” park. We wanted to make the day all about doing what they (our kids) wanted. While we burned lots of energy at the park, Diane went to have lunch with her sister Monique at the mall. The kids had lots of fun climbing, running and teeter-tottering. The weather was fantastic. It was cloudy/hazy but it was nice and warm. After lunch the kids and I ran some laps around the park on a gravel trail. It was fun and at least I got a bit of exercise.
After that we went to the mall to pick up Diane and pick ourselves up some ice cream and a few new clothes for the kids. Emma picked out her own summer dress to go with our “summer” weather we’re having.
When we got home we sat outside for awhile and then visited the chickens and pigeons in the back of our house. We asked Jacques if we could see the chicks and take some pictures this time! Still as cute as the first time.
Before dinner Francois went for a bike ride while Liam had his scheduled web-cam chat with his class mates back in Vernon. Liam really enjoyed seeing and chatting with his buddies and I think its so cool that this is possible so a big thank you to Liam’s teacher, Madame Lea for helping to make this possible.
Tomorrow we venture off to the city of Carcasonne!
Great choice Emma; the dress and the pink matching sandals. So pretty! Looking forward to seeing pictures from Carcassonne. What a place, according to Wikipedia, and a World Heritage Site.
