As we were eating lunch yesterday, the bell on our gate sounded. We all jumped up from the table and ran outside to meet my parents. It's so wonderful to see them again. All the kids kept talking at the same time. They got the full tour of the house, of course, and then ate lunch. After lunch, Sarah suggested we go for a walk to the woods down the lane. It was Molly who next suggested that we try and make it to the chateau again.
It was a long and somewhat marshy walk, but we succeeded in finding it. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. The chateau is a private residence, so we didn't get too close. It is very beautiful. I hope to find an intact chateau that we can tour.
In the evening, we surprised my parents with a dramatic production of "Snow-White and Rose-Red." The kids all did a great job on their parts. I think they all get an "A" on this particular Fine Arts project.
Having grandparents in the house is a new experience for us because we have always lived close to my parents. We have had the fun of seeing them very often, but we have never had the opportunity for them to stay in our house. The kids are so excited. This week should be fun and exciting. I like that I can schedule my own fall break for school! I hope they'll still learn a lot on field trips, though.
