Among the millions of things I am going to miss about France this is near the top of my list. The bread here is so amazing and we eat a lot of it and love it! The smell, the texture the taste everything about it is wonderful!
The tennis lesson season is almost over, only two more weeks. 
The traditional "French Kiss" from Eric to Jesse.
We will really be able to give Grandma & Grandpa T's court a real work out now.

We have some friends who live here but will be moving very soon to Utah. They were in the throws of packing, cleaning, and moving their belongings out of their house, so we were lucky to have their children come and spend the day with us.
It was Alysée's 11th birthday, so we had a little celebration for her.
She is such a sweet and talented girl. She plays the piano and violin very well and it seems as if whenever she is around imaginations go wild and the children create the most clever games.
We are very happy that this is one family we are not having to say goodbye to, just à bientôt.
The farm of Bourron Marlotte happens to be owned by one of Logan's friends Alecis. He has had the opportunity to go the farm several times and do a little exploring and horse riding.
Logan and Alecis. 
The donkey on the farm is so gentle and kid friendly. All the kids piled on at once and he was just happy he could hold them all.
Logan got to try out his riding skills with Alecis mom. She used to be a trainer and a riding instructor until the weather became too cold for her to be outside for very long.
Annie & Jesse were with me when I went to pick up Logan and she asked them if they would like a turn, of course they didn't turn her down.
When each of the children had had their turn, Alecis got on to show us his stuff. He is a really great rider, such a tiny boy on a big horse, but he was the one in control.
I love the open air markets here so much-every village has one and they are all different. We went to the Marché in Melun one Saturday morning and the food was amazing. All the fruit is coming into season so we couldn't resist buying some delicious cherries, apricots, strawberries and even a watermelon.
Today was a new adventure for us all. We drove into Paris and attended Mass (messe) à Notre Dame Cathedral. There was a choir and they sang many different songs. The priest gave several sermons, he even gave a short one in English.
In our reading of Rodin and his work we learned that he encouraged reproduction of his art and so you can see many of his sculptures in several museums across the world.
The Thinker is probably his most recognized piece and the kids favorite.
Rodin is buried in his hometown of Meudon with a Thinker just like this one as his tombstone.
Erin this is for you. I know that you wanted Travis to get a picture of this while he was here, but we never made it to the Rodin at the time.
I really liked this museum because there is a great collection inside the museum as well as the gardens outside.
Inside the metro stop for the Museum they have large plastic statues the kids could touch them all they wanted and know they weren't going to damage anything.
It was a full, busy day and only took about 35 seconds until they were out.
