A crash!

Zoe had a nasty wipeout on her bike going around a gravelly corner!

Another holiday

May in France is full of holidays.  And that mens no camp or day care!  So today we did a family (minus Chloe, who was still swanning around Barcelona) hike up to the Aiguille de Quaix from Planfay.  We stopped to carve little boats out of branches and race them down a small river and then then have a little picnic.  There was hardly any grumbling at all -- I was very proud of them!  It is so beautiful up there.
