The kids were having fun playing a ball game out in the courtyard in the morning.

They would throw a rock then each roll these large steel balls trying to get closest to the rock.

It's a pretty courtyard next to these super old farm buildings.

They have some beautiful flowers.

As I was going into Giverny I found this really neat little bed and breakfast that had this really cool looking tower.

Today was pretty much another semi down day, recovering from yesterday. On the travel days, it’s not just the driving that wears you out, but the getting up early, cleaning, getting the car packed, and everything else that wears you out. We all slept in, then I went to the grocery store to get some stuff for the next few days. The kids had a great time just playing around the farmhouse where we are staying. They played a balls game, picked raspberries in the garden, and looked at the bunnies that they have there. I also drove into Giverny where Claude Monet lived and did a lot of his painting. It’s a beautiful area. Vernon, which is the closest semi-large town, is right on the river Seine.
