Lovely holiday...

We are home and happy and had a lovely time across the pond. We took a ton of pictures, most of which were downloaded onto Chris's laptop. I still need to get those, but these were still on the camera from last Friday. It was our big outing into town. Chris's aunt Patricia wanted to go to Camden for some shopping, so we spent a couple of hours there. My big wish was to go to a French bookstore and get some children's books. I was thrilled to be able to do that! Anyway, you can see we had a good time.

Alexandre & Patricia

The boys had a nice long snooze after the hour-long train ride.
Thank goodness for "Bob"! (our stroller)

We got quite a kick out of the variety of apparel at Camden.
As Patricia said, "Regarde, c'est le carnival!" ("Look, it's the circus!")

Alex et Veronique

Love these locks... i think. :)

I LOVE the guy in the middle of this picture where his hair looks like it's been parted on the side and is blowing in the wind. There was really no wind. :) lol!

This guy even posed for us. :)

Cute little monkey, isn't he?

How can you not blow on that neck?

Alex and the boys - Alex is the youngest in his family and
really enjoyed being an uncle figure. He was very helpful. Merci, Alex!

I know, funny name, but I promise, a fantastic place to live!

The above and below pics were the last our camera would take for the day. The battery died. Isn't the green so beautiful, though? These pictures are right before "the park" where the boys spent lots of time. I'll get those pics posted soon.
