Our Place in France

The outside of the house.

Well if you are following my blog about our vacation, you will see that two post made it on yesterday.  The one about the Fresian market was suppose to happen a few days ago and it somehow did not get posted.  Anyway here is the garden of the house that we are staying in while in France.  It is really beautiful and very deceiving from the outside of the house.

The garden/courtyard of the lovely place in France.

 There is even a pool that we can use.  The owner of the place lives on the courtyard as well and was gone while we were saying here.  It was like our own private pool for the weekend.  the girls really enjoyed it.  On Saturday i think they stayed in the pool for about 5 hours.

                                                  

 While visiting France it seemed fitting to play the popular game of Guillotine.  The game where the French nobles get beheaded.  It is one of hubby's favorite games.  Then of course since we are gong to visit Versailles we talked a lot about the French revolution and why they beheaded the nobles.

It has been a great trip so far.  We have enjoyed it.  It has cost more at times than I was expecting, but when will we get to do this again.  It is educational and it allows our children to see the world from a different perspective.

I  hope to keep this up while in Paris.  If I can't take my laptop, it will have to wait till we are back in Norway.  Try packing for four day for four girls in two carry-ons.  We flying from paris to Frankfurt on Friday to meet up with the guys to head back to Norway.  This trip will really be trains, planes, and automobiles with a couple of ferries in there as well.
