Vive La France!

Today we took a virtual trip to France and enjoyed some very yummy food along the way! I am a sucker for good French breakfast food and pastries, so I even started our culinary journey extra early to make sure we ate all of my favorites. Saturday morning we started out with some homemade crepes (my first time making them, so of course they were burned). For Father's Day Sunday morning, I made a Quiche Lorraine, and we also enjoyed some croissants, Beef Bourguignon, chicken cordon bleu, omelettes, French toast, brioche, and some delicious eclairs.

The boys watched one video about Paris and another about the entire country of France, and this week Alex decided to do a poster and Ethan decided to type up a summary of what they learned this week.

In addition to everything we learned, we also took a trip to Paris, Texas. While there, we made sure to visit their mini Eiffel tower (complete with cowboy hat), and we also saw their famous statue of Jesus in cowboy boots. We also discovered a veterans' memorial located right by the Eiffel tower replica in Paris. It was a bit of a drive to get there from where we live, but we enjoyed ourselves.

Look closely, Jesus has cowboy boots! Legend has it that the sculptor could not sculpt sandals, but he did know how to make cowboy boots, so he did those instead.

Next week is a short one for us since we are taking a long road trip, so I am changing it up a bit. Check back to see what is different!
