Saint Joe, here we come! Lunch on the way in New Buffalo.

Saint Joseph, nous voila! On s'arrete pour dejeuner sur la route le long du lac a New Buffalo.

Saint Joe must have known we were coming: doggies everywhere...

La ville devait etre au courant qu'on arrivait: ils avaient mis des petits chiens partout.

Do we look like beach boys yet?

Ah..!La plage, la vraie!

Our favorite dog: his name was "doggie bag". He was carrying a lot of our favorite foods and we enjoyed naming everything that was on his back, again, and again, and again, from "cherry pie ears" to cupcakes, to goldfish crackers, broccoli, and ice cream.

Notre chien prefere: couvert de nos aliments preferes, du gateau a la cerise aux petits gateaux en forme de poissons, a la glace a la vanille, aux brocolis.

Guess what my favorite color is...

Pierre gets very serious about ORANGE. At this point he'll seize any occasion to eat off an orange plate plate, and drink from an orange cup. Every day if we let him. He likes when Papa wears an orange shirt too, and saying: "Orange shirt, it's a match"

Devinez la couleur preferee de Pierre....

Pierre prend le orange tres au serieux et ces temps-ci il tient beaucoup a ce que l'assiette dans laquelle il mange soit orange. Pareil pour son gobelet. Il aime quand Papa porte, comme lui, un T-shirt orange. Il dit (en anglais): "T-shirt orange, c'est pareil!"




On our way to the ice cream parlor in Three Oaks.

En route vers le marchand de glaces dans un village voisin.

Hmmmm. So many flavors!

Hmm. Que choisir?

Two mornings at the beach in a row. Life is good.

Deux matinees de suite a la plage. Elle est pas belle la vie?






Can't spill this precious water. I've got some dams and castles to build today.

Pas question de renverser. J'ai des chateaux et des barages a construire, moi.











Where's the way out of this big hole?

Mais comment on sort de ce trou?



Building a dam, talking about Pady who used to spend his entire summers at the beach as a little boy, digging holes and building dams in Normandy.

On contruit un petit barage en parlant de Pady et de ses vacances de petit garcon a la plage en Normandie.










Click on the next picture to magnify it, and look inside the bucket. Some bucket was happy that day. Odd, isn't it?

Cliquez sur la photo suivante et regardez a l'interieur du seau. Un sourire s'y etait cache. Marrant, hein?
