Pentecost Party
First, a few shots from BeBe Nageur Saturday morning:

Fun for everybody:
Sunday: Park in Villefranche.

Pentecost Monday - national holiday and our little friend Eva's 4th bday bash. Léna looking not sure about the cheese stuck to her face....
Estelle can't believe her good luck, she has a bag of potato chips, first ones since we were in VT in February.
Léna finds an empty bag of chips.
The party had a nautical/seaman/sailor theme. In fact in French it is called "Moussaillons" which is the little children who would work on boats and would always wear this little special hats. We went wearing our handmade printed fish shirts, each printed with a real (dead, frozen) painted on then stuck on fish. So cool! Thanks Jericho cousins!

Eliott REALLY looked like a little sailor. It was a bit like "On the Town", what a great film.
There was a lot of little sailors at this party!

You see Estelle in the yellow shirt, to her left is Eva, birthday girl. Next year they will be at the same school as Estelle will switch schools in September.
Ludovic, father to Eva and owner of a small creperie, made Nutelle crepes for everyone ahead of time. The candles went on the crepes and everybody sang.
A lovely 3-day weekend!

What great photos, Julie! Lena looked so grown up in the pool pictures! Looks like Thomas was really enjoying being with his girls, too.
Loved the family photo of the four of you with your fish shirts. Julie, you look so young and beautiful!
I think I was at Eva's third birthday at the park last year! Seems to me she was just getting over chicken pox or something. The little hats looked so adorable on everyone!
You guys are having a lot of fun lately. I recognize that little watermelon bathing suit. It was my favorite.
Love the photo of you all toghether.
Hi Julie,
This is your (2nd?) cousin Gretchen. I love the family photo of you all in your Gyotaku fish shirts (that my husband Brian and I made). Would you mind if I put a link to your blog in my blog about art and science?:

Julie, love the hats, your family photo, but especially the part about Nutella crepes. I will be over shortly!! Sounds yummy! Love that the girls are learning to swim, so that they can be French sailors, and wear those cute hats someday!!
Great pics! You look like a very young Aunt Becky in those pictures!
