Un jour en France

"A day in France"

Several weeks ago we virtually visited Germany and last week was time for us to visit France for the day.  Side Note:  Every time I type France, I end up typing Franco and I have to delete the O and add an E.  I just did it again.  My finger is used to typing Franco I guess- Ok, on with the story.

This is turning into a fun activity that we are all enjoying. The best part is the girls are retaining the information.  Randomly I will hear them greeting each other in German or French. Personally I am loving the pictures off of Google images. When it was time for us to "travel" to France we gathered around the kitchen table with my laptop.  We read facts about France, looked and learned about the Eiffel Tower and why its called the Eiffel Tower.  The girls learned a couple new French words, "Bonjour and Au Revoir," and we learned what the French flag looked like and replicated it. We ended the day with eating the French meal Steak Au Poivre with Ratatouille. 

Ava colored the Eiffel Tower.  There is also a bridge with people walking over and a bicycle just randomly sitting by the Eiffel Tower (that's getting rained on)  She told me the bike was for the "Tour de France"

Apparently Emma thinks there are apple tree's in France :) Her picture is of the Eiffel Tower (in yellow) a bridge by the tower (in brown), sunflower and mountains. 

The girls helped me prepare dinner again.  Here they are helping me prepare the Ratatouille which is basically roasted vegetables. 

Taking a picture of the finished product surprised me because with Germany I ate all the food then remembered I didn't take a picture.  So, here you go... France's meal. 

Next Up:  ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Learning about daddies people.













Enjoy your family~
