Now that our official French coursework is complete, we have entered into a transition phase. What does that mean? A LOT of sorting, pruning, packing, repacking, ordering, gifting, and cleaning balanced around enjoying our last weeks in France.
As you may have noticed, blogging has taken a bit of a backseat...but we thought we would share some recent happenings:
Last week G was able to participate in McDo's (yep that's French for McDonalds) "Kids Sport" Day. Apparently McDo is sponsoring a touring "Kids Sport" festival that travels to cities across France. Kids receive a free t-shirt (G was thrilled that her's was pink!), a sport journal and a "Pass'sport." There were various stations set-up (hand-ball, judo, break-dancing, biking...) for the kids to visit, participate in a 15-20 minute hands-on lesson/practice and then get a stamp in their "pass'sport"! Actually a great way to get kids excited to be ACTIVE!!

We've also done some celebrating...

And we've said "good-bye-for-now" to some friends...

We find exploring new parks to be a good way to cheer us up after parting ways with loved ones. Everyone enjoyed this park in Thônes after we dropped Nana, Papa & Nanny off at the airport:
It is a bittersweet time but we know staying in France for this transition phase was a good decision. It's given us time to rest, to play, to complete the tasks above, to explore new places while visiting some other places that have become favorites and to say good-bye (for now)...
Stay tuned for highlights from our 3-day road trip around Mont Blanc!
