Happy Fourth of July! Our traditional July 4th activities include: going out to breakfast, fishing at the fish farm, coming home and cooking our fish and having a fun themed Americana dinner. This year we decided to add roasting marshmellows on the BBQ to make smores. Yum! We also thought it would be fun to have a pinata and the boys loved it. It took a lot of hits to get that candy out.
This is a Roman Aquaduct - it is gigantic! We had such an awesome time. 
Happy Birthday to James! 5 years old! He wanted to have a Star Wars birthday so we went all out - even making Jedi costumes for him and his friends. Of course Alan and I had to have costumes at the party since we were the Jedi Masters! It turned out really cute and he had a blast.
Alan and I went to France together this month. Since Alan speaks French from his mission, this makes this experience all the better as people can understand us! We spent a couple of days in the south of France and saw probably 50 different fields of lavender - one place had 52 acres of it. It smelled sooo good. We also spent a couple of days in Paris.

Our hotel in Paris was just down the street from the Eiffel Tower. Each night the whole thing would sparkle on the hour every hour for five minutes. It was so pretty!
This is me in front of a Monet waterlily painting at a museum we went to in the Tuileries in Paris. Monet actually designed the museum around these paintings. They were amazing.
