1st movie in the Movie theater for Sarah & Sean




Today for Father's day, the kids and I took Mark to see Kung Foo Panda 2 since we all enjoyed the first Kung Foo Panda. There was a theater in Cannes that showed it in English with French subtitles. This is the first time the kids have had an interest in going to the theater for a movie. They both really enjoyed it! Sean is already wanting to see Cars 2 when it comes out in the theater!

Summer Fair and BBQ at Sarah's school!
















Sarah school had an end of year summer fair and BBQ. The kids enjoyed the games that they had set up. Sean's favorite activity was the bouncy castle and Sarah's was making beaeded bracelets. After the games, we enjoyed the BBQ and band. At the BBQ the japonese families made suishi and other japenses/thai food that they sold in order to benefit the Tsunami relief. The food was EXECELLANT! Sarah tried sushi for the first time and both kids really liked the japonese food! The kids had fun playing and running around with their friends, while we enjoyed talking with the other parents! Sarah even sang with the band! Our neighbor turned out to be in the band so that was neat to see him perform!
