Plane trip and the first day in France

We left Edmonton airport at 11:30 on the 11th of July for a month in France. We spent An exhausting yet sleepless 14 hours in the air. The girls watched lots of shows on the tiny plane tvs. Madeline quietly drew pictures with her new kit Heather had lovingly made for them.


The turbulence was so bad leaving Montreal that we weren't served supper until 9:00 Edmonton time. The girls were very well behaved despite the lack of naps and food. We did find out that Lydia HATES wearing a seatbelt for extended periods of time.


We arrived in Geneva airport had our private driver pick us up and whisk us away to Grenoble.


We have beaten the jet lag and settled in with the Watts family.

There is a lovely park close to our house. We call it the train park. We try to visit it as often as possible so we can get or daily dose of sand and sun.

Yucky

This is Lydia's trick about her trick. She usually tricks us by saying everything is yucky but when I turned on the video camera she tricked me.

Swings


Madeline has learned to swing by herself today! She no longer needs pushes to get going in the swing. The other big thing to mention in this post is that the girls discovered the ice cream truck. Before today it was the music truck that drove around town sharing beautiful music for everyone to enjoy. Now they know the truth.
