My Holiday in France

Äiti and I went to France last week and we had a brilliant time. Daddy joined us for the weekend but he had lots of work to do so could only stay 3 nights.

I loved playing on the beach, I even walked on it and touched the sand! This is a great achievement for me! I made lots of sand castles, paddled a bit in the sea and ran through all the puddles when the tide was out. I got to visit the zoo twice! I went once with Äiti and enjoyed it so much that I insisted that we take daddy too. I went to a great aquarium with daddy and then äiti discovered another one near the airport. We dropped daddy at the airport and went to one of the best aquariums ever! We'll take daddy next time!

I visited the house and gardens of Clemenceau, he was a French president that retired to the Vendee. He and his friend Monet (a painter) made a garden in the dunes so we went to look. I loved it though I don't think Äiti was too impressed!

I went for lots of bike rides and discovered a passion for hay bales. I am now a hay bale expert. I watched lots being made and spotted them everywhere! I also liked the fields of sunflowers. Every night we went for a walk around the village. I insisted on wearing my pjs for our nightly walks! I played a lot in the garden, ate out lots of times and had fun.

My French was really good, I was able to translate a lot of signs. I enjoyed reading the information signs at the zoo and aquarium. I could also pick my own dinner from the menus but I refused to speak French (or English) to anyone.

One day it was really hot so we went to a swimming pool. I really enjoyed that and even did a few new things like put my face in the water and float on my back! I will show my swim teacher next week.

I really wanted to write stories on the laptop when we were there, but Äiti wouldn't let me use it. In the end I wrote a book about my holiday, I am very proud of this book. If you click on each page, it should open so that you can read it.
