France, Part 4 (way too many pictures)
This will be the last France post, I know you are glad. Probably my favorite day was the day we visited Mont-St-Michel. It's a huge Abbey on a mini-Island. We were just driving along and all of the sudden you see it, kind of like Disney but not quite.
Thankfully a friend of mine here let us borrow this backpack carrier for Addison. The streets on the island were so narrow and made of cobblestone that there is no way a stroller would have made it.
Hello, isn't that amazing??
Riding in style!
Later in the day after we had sustained ourselves with yet another crepe, we drove just down the road to Alligator Bay! The girls LOVED it.
One kind of cool/freaky thing was the snake (cages?) (homes?) had these tunnels you could crawl through and look up into, it was scary but fun. I asked the girls to make scared faces.
Bailey thought this snake was so funny because it would do whatever she did and would follow her. Scary if you ask me. There is nothing good about snakes.
The alligators were inside this huge building, made to make you feel like you were in the middle of the Louisiana bayou. Hot and steamy. It was so hot in there, we were sweating and the girls faces were turning bright red. As we were leaving the place it said they kept the temperature in the mid 90's. Well folks, we have adjusted to Welsh life because we were so hot we had to get ice cream afterwards. It was hotter in Texas last summer, but we are sure not use to that anymore. The girls and I were practically running for the door. Ok, we were a bit dramatic, but still it was really hot.
Here are a few more pictures of cemeteries: This is the England Cemetery graves:
This is the German Cemetery:
We decided to come back a day early because of Addison's sleeping issue (not sleeping!) and what did she do on the way home? She fell asleep just as we came back into England! She must have something against France?
I know it's totally late, but I need to post our Royal Wedding Tea Party pictures too! Coming back early was a good decision because we sat in front of the telly all day long ooohing and ahhing!
