A whole family visit on Sunday

We were all leaving mid-afternoon on Sunday, so we took the opportunity to have a joint exploration of our land. I decided to leave Thomas and his parents to do the whole thing in French, while I spent some quality time with Margaux.

 

Margaux went through a few failed attempts of trying to eat acorns - while I went through some more successful attempts of retrieving them from her mouth - before she realised the effort was futile, and instead contented herself to playing with the leaves. Honestly, you can throw all the designer toys and teddies at her that you want, but it was near on impossible to distract her from those leaves.

 

 

 

This is it, in all its beauty. It's ridiculous how much it reminds me of my upbringing, which I'm appreciating much more these days!

 

And here we are, in various combinations, proving that we enjoyed exploring the place together. :) As if proof were needed!

We headed straight from this visit to the airport for some temporary goodbyes... we'll be seeing them, plus the rest of that side of the family, in the last weekend of November!
