Backpack

Sarah and I picked Jack up from school and Sarah stole Jack's backpack and Jack was just about to complain when he said, well if she wants to carry it, it saves me from carrying it!


So Jack goes along with it :)


And the little tortoise with the big shell on her back continues...


and continues......


And even wants to do it the next morning. And this is the new "hippy" dress Sarah got from Uncle John.

Uncle John

We all went to pick up Uncle John at "Le Chateau de la Chevre d'Or". It started with a nice walk in their gardens with all the bronze animal statues, each one enticing a little scream of delight from Jack and Sarah. This is a photo of Sarah and Mummy on the balcony of Uncle John's room.


Jack showing us how to live in style!


Mummy posing for the cameras with the beautiful view behind her.


On Sunday, we went to "Quai des milliardaires" and it was full of lovely boats. Here is a photo of just one of them, Octopus.


Back at "Chevre d'Or" and a photo of Sarah.


Mummy, Jack, Sarah and Uncle John checking out the pool at the hotel.


Uncle John and Jack.


More of the view at "Chevre d'Or".


And then we finally left Uncle John at the airport. We then left the airport with two unhappy kids who wanted to stay at the airport.

So do I really have to choose or can I have one of each :)
