The month of May here in France is a busy one with three celebrated holidays. Schools, as well as many businesses, take part in what they refer to as the bridge holidays. The bridge happens when a holiday lands on a Tuesday or a Thursday, giving the day between the holiday and the weekend as a freebee. This year, the bridge was much welcomed with THREE four day weekends in the month of May, as each of the holidays landed on a Thursday. Hallelujah! We took full advantage of our long weekends planning small day trips to near by lakes, parks, zoos and vineyards. The family participated in our fun, and it was so great to all be together with no responsibilities other than just having fun with one another. Zaylee girl, you love any extra time with Mamie and Papi and were so happy to have full days with all of their attention fishing, exploring, playing, and just being with them. Marcel hung out and enjoyed some of the fun too, including some of his first tastes of ice cream and his first true picnic. We are so blessed to live surrounded by such beauty and were so thankful to get to see places we had not yet visited.

A day at Lyon's version of Central Park meets Lincoln Park in mid 90 degree weather. Hot, hot fun with the boys! :)
"Mama! Zaylee cited!"
"Hi Bambi!"
We are trying to soak in as many memories as we can in our last months here in France, and have enjoyed all the extra time we have been able to spend with the family!
