France

I just realized I never posted about our "journey" to France. We read through Mystery at the Eiffel Tower by Erin Kelly, and "rowed" Madeline, Madeline and the Gypsies, and Madeline's Christmas by Ludwig Bemelmans, with plans to read Madeline in London when we "visit" England. Homeschool Share had loads of resources for our lapbooks of France and Madeline.

Of course, we had to go to EPCOT and visit the France Pavilion there. We saw one of the Gargoyles from Notre Dame, tried on berets and pretended we were Monet (or Van Gogh, or whomever catches your fancy)... and what trip to France would be complete without a sampling of French pastries?! Yep! We couldn't decide on one thing, so we each picked something and shared with each other... YUMMMMMMMM!

Having our passports stamped is always a MUST!

And God is so cool! I had a hard time finding a biography for a Missionary or other Christian hero to study, but, as "luck" would have it,we had a visitor in AWANA come and tell us about a Missionary family who lives in- where else?- France! God's timing is always perfect- even in the little things :-) I have marvelled this year at watching how things so nicely unfold for me in our "fly by the seat of your pants" homeschool... I can see God's hand every way I turn...
