Grab bag 'o pix

Wow I've been neglecting this thing.... haven't really been in the mood lately to celebrate anything so I guess I haven't done any posting. Well here are a bunch of pix from the past five months or so. First is the Christmas French horn concert in Appleton. Then we have Matthew at swimming lessons. Then Matthew at the Milwaukee Museum of Art explaining some Egyptian art to his class. After that is some exciting bowling pictures, followed by Robert at a chess meet, Matthew at the Buck's game, and Robert at chess SuperNationals in Nashville!

Paris and London 2008

Finally finally finally some pix from our July trip. The entire photo set can be found at http://gallery.me.com/samanthamason#100057 but here's a nice subset.

Here's us at breakfast, must be the very first day. CAN ANYONE SPOT THE "MORNING PERSON"???




On one of the first days we got to have lunch at the Jules Verne restaurant which is pretty high up in the Eiffel Tower!













The boys always have fun at the Tuileries



















Here's the most famous picture from Les Eyzies





After a few days in Paris we found ourselves in Carcassonne, which is an amazing walled fortress of a place.







This is the front door of our hotel which was right inside the walled city!













They had beer there!!



And we got to watch a jousting match, though not on ostriches







For Bastille Day there were some amazing fireworks






Here's the patio outside our hotel room






This is a closeup of outside one of the churches, some of these guys are hilarious!






Robert has two heads!






Then we went WAY out into the countryside and stayed in this tiny little town that didn't even have a restaurant in it (maybe a first for France!).







Robert and I trying to start an "old man farm"



Very delicious breakfast at the hotel!





And a rare pic of Sam!




Then it was back to Paris for a bit, where we went to the Luxembourg Gardins for a couple hours to have a picnic lunch and let the boys play with the boats in the fountain


















And of course, back to the Tuileries






Then we took a day trip to Chartres to see the amazing cathedral, and eat lunch of course















Then we took the Chunnel over to London for a few very hot days





























Fun in the park on a watery fountain!








Ooooooops!!!!!
