Mallory had to take a high school entrance exam at the American School of Paris, so we played hooky on Friday and enjoyed half the weekend in Paris.
Here is Mal at one of our favorite bistros in the 6th, Christine, with a painting of our hero, OBAMA!!
One of the fabulous side alleys in St. Germaine...with a Starbucks Frappuchino in hand :-)
Mal lovin' her itunes on the train ride home.After returning to Aix at 10pm on Saturday, we packed up for a 7am departure for the ski slopes the next morning. We had a wonderful day of skiing in Les Orres, a resort about two hours from Aix.
Shane, our hot-shot. He is all confidence with a "rising "skill level...so far the confidence is much better than his skill!
Like I said, his skill level is rising, but boy, can he zoom down the mountain!
Mal had a great time and really progressed with a morning private lesson. The trip was an important refresher before her week-long ski trip with IBS.
Pal Deree and Julie before our first morning run.
Snacks on the ski lifts are half the fun when you are 7!
Farewell snow angels before the ride home.
Syd still had a smile on his face shortly before our return to Aix. We hadn't quite counted on a 4 1/2 hour "bouchon" on the way home. Next time, I think we will spend the night!
