Plants, pool, and Papa

Friday evening was taken up with a very necessary trip to Géant to buy new shoes for Louis. Holes in jeans are cool, holes in shoes less so                                     

                                                                                      But you can't go to Géant with your Dad and not show him the Lego shelves .

The evening was still warm enough for a BBQ in the garden without jumpers..

On Saturday, Nick took the boys out for the day to Terra Botanica, a local theme park with over 40 activities and attractions, concerned with all aspects of plant life.. People come from all over the Anjou region, as it is a good day out for families, especially on sunny days..

Ouch, that really hurts.

 They had a good day, even if it wasn't as hair-raisingly dynamic as they would have liked, and they would probably have got much more out of it had their French been better. However, they did get one of the tours all  to themselves, entirely in English.  They enjoyed the trip on bus AND tram to get there, and Louis asked for the tickets in his best French.

Sunday morning brought a trip to the swimming pool, followed by Sunday lunch in the garden.
