Great day for a visit

So, we did it!  Maya got a surprise visit from some very special people!!  It was a nail bitter, as so many things were making it not going to happen, flight a bit late, crazy traffic, etc. But it did and it was great!

A Merry Little Christmas

Here are our Santa pictures that came out pretty cute. The lady taking the pictures asked if she could use it as an advertisement!

Fall Fun!

First day of CE1 (second grade) !! Not possible!

Our first bike trip!

We took our bad ass cargo bike on a trip to Luzern Switzerland and Lake Konstance Germany.  We had wonderful weather and a great time!! We left Grenoble and met up with Omi and Grand-Père on the road and ate some lunch, then headed on to visit Ballenburg, Swiss open air museum.

It was interesting and about houses, but it was quite big and too much to see in one day. Maya's favorite was of course the carousel.

1rst bike ride  : the Axenstrasse at the other end of lake Lucerne between Flüelen and Sisikon through TellsKapelle

2nd Bike ride : boat ride From Lucerne to Standsstad then bike ride almost to the Burgenstock boat stop and then back to Lucerne through Stansstad again and following the coast road

 

They were very pretty.

Jean -Marc; Maya, and Margarete took a walk down to see some bells. The were very pretty when the rang.

Then we took off to Luzern. 

We hit the transportation museum, which was pretty cool.  Maya and Daddy really enjoyed it.

1rst ride : From Konstanz to and aournd Reichenau Island and then solar boat ride to Mannenbach in switzerland and the bike ride back to Konstanz along the coast on the switzerland side

2nd ride : From Konstanz to Mainau Island, the back to the big pool (common mum, the have some very warm pool you would like) and then back to konstanz.

3rd ride : By boat from Konstanz to Unteruhldingen, Pfahlbauten Museum, ate there, then bike ride to Meersburg (we stopped on the way to take a swim in the lake), icecream at meersburg, the boat ride + bike ride back to Konstanz

Off to Summer in USA!!!

So we are off to Boston, and we were so excited!

First boat outing for us.  Maya clearly stated that she likes boats better with a motor!! LOL

Family Road Trip!  Great time, with only a few hiccups! The girls really adore each other.  They are the best little travelers, with a little help from apple and android.

They are loving their new stuffed animals.  Maya calls hers "Pickles"

We had a great summer in United States.
