Last Day

Last day treats from the Carpentier Artisan Boulanger.

Water slide Day

Before we left we found a bargain on the internet of a Dual Race water slide, just plug in a hose and away you slide.

Bethany with the jump technique

Running back to have another go

Why should all the children have the fun

France Day 12

One thing we like about France is the way they make use of there lakes. So what else can you do on a hot day, except swim swim swim.

Jacob and his boats

Hammonds in Paris

Typically being the first real hot day of the holiday, we had arranged to go to Paris by train. The train out was 2 hours late which when waiting in the boiling heat with 4 kids is not much fun!. But once we arrived. WOW what a city, loved the pace and the architecture, I cant wait to go back

Look who we found! its a small world

Its not a holiday without a BBQ, the Yaka BBQ was the biggest I have ever seen, I could not even move it!

Now were cooking!!

France Day 8

We were told by the gite owners that the local adventure place Tolysland would be a great place for our children! On this advice we went! My word English health & safety would have had a field day, but children just see the fun! and it was fun!

Water fights are always a must on a hot sunny day! but because the children do not like being squirted I had to invent some bad guys!
