Hi everyone, this is Léa's mom, Mari.
I'm sorry for not posting so much; after Léa's dad returned to NYC, I am working in Paris and it has been difficult to find the time. I just spent 4 days with Léa and Téo in Abbecourt at the grandparents house, preparing for their departure to their "Colonie Vacances", Sleep-away Camp! Here is Léa and Téo yesterday at the train station called Gare Montparnasse with the grandparents just before the departure.
She is going to Nantes, a city in the west of France.
She had a huge list of things to bring: 7 shirts, 7 pants, 7 underwear and socks etc. and she will be responsible of organizing her own belongings for two weeks! 
After the school ended, Léa has been lucky since Sophie, a little girl from her class and also a close neighbor, remained friends and they go back and forth spending a lot of time together. Here is Sophie in the kitchen playing with Léa and Téo. 
Last week, her cousins' family came back from their vacation in Ireland, so they had fun playing together. Here is Léa and her 14 yr-old cousin Gwenaëlle, whom she loves very much. Léa also learned a new computer program her uncle and an engineer Frédéric 'Tonton Fred' taught her, called Google Sketch Up. It's a free program and you should try it! She has been designing houses and rooms and it has been a great pass-time for her too!
What are you all doing? Let us know! We are picking Léa and Téo up at the Gare Montparnasse next week, July 30th.
