Paris at Night

Today we went to Notre Dame and the Crypt. Strolled to Rue de Rossier for lunch. Then had a beer at Place de Vasques and relaxed a bit. This evening we went to the Eiffel Tower and then Troccadero across the river from the tower.

City of Lights!

Last day of school

Jamesy is on his way to second grade. He had another wonderful year at Pinewood with Mrs. Smith. Summer vacation, yahoo!!

James joined us on his second overnight backpacking trip. We hiked in about 2 1/2 miles to a beautiful stream and camped next to it. James inherited an external frame pack from our friend's daughter. He carried his own sleeping bag, clothes and snacks. He complained some going in, but he hiked out with a few rest breaks and that's about it.
He also carried in his new super soaker gun. That made for hours of entertainment and lots of wet clothing and shoes!
