Photos from Angers

One month ago we went to Angers and I didn't ever post many photos - here's the balance of the shots. Above - Estelle and Manou enjoy a book in Estelle's room.

At the Nice airport on our flight up, we ran into Estelle's buddy Loup. That was a fun way to start the trip.
Always good to start things off with a lovely cake....
A beautiful Sunday afternoon at a park I had never been to...

Estelle enjoyed this "spider's web"




Making crepe batter.


A beautiful walk on the bank of the Maine river - just a 5 minute stroll from the house...

aha...CREPES!

Yummy crepes! Papy makes a face on one for Estelle.Even Léna knows a good crepe when she sees one....

Playing hopscotch with sidewalk chalk...

Here Estelle tried to draw every one of her 24 cousins in America.
Claudine and Rollant came to visit and brought dominos for Estelle. Poor Claudine didn't know what she was in for. Estelle wanted to play with her all the time.

Making her hobby horse for her Cowgirl costume.

Tea at Claudine and Rolland's house - homemade goodies - those shell-shaped sponge cakes are a French tradition called "Madelines".
Outside Claudine's playing tag.


The day before we left, we went into downtown Angers and Estelle had a few pony rides...

This blur is me, holding Léna on the fastest bumpiest merry-go-round this side of the Mississippi. I was dizzy and naseous for a long time after!
Estelle on the horse, after her real pony rides!
