Country picnic in France

Hello!

It's been a while since we last posted pictures of ourselves... and guess what? I am now in France at my Papi and Mamie's house. We arrived two weeks ago with my Mama, and we are enjoying the country side lifestyle a lot. How lucky we are - you are allowed to think so.

Last night we were all by ourselves with Mama, so she decided we should go out in the forest for a picnic. It had been a very long and hot day, and we had spent most of it inside the house, so it was about time to get out!

We walked for a while until I asked for a break and we started our picnic. We could see Grand-Maman's house in Switzerland from where we were sitting.

On the menu: bread, hard boiled eggs, local cheese, green salad (only for Mama), cherry tomatoes, banana and apple.

 Ready to go! we are continuing our exploration and will go up the "mountain" to Le Charcot where there is a view of the village and we can watch the sun set.

 Mama had brought our color pencils of course, it was lovely to draw all together in the grass while watching the sun (and the cows). We thought a lot about our Papa who can't spend time with us in France this year. We miss you Papa!

by me (Chloé): that's only the beginning of my drawing -> a slide and a swing, which I have only started to draw for the first time yesterday!

Robot playground and legoland

We enjoy our robot park (playground) in Roppongi Hills as often as possible as we will move in our new home at the end of this week, and will live too far to go very often... a pity as it's very much fun to hangout over there!

There were so many children at the playground last Friday evening, we got "stuck" there until 7pm!

We also discovered a Lego shop on basement 2 of Roppongi Hills, heaven on earth!

Wandering in Tokyo... May 17, 2012

Wandering in Yoyogi-koen (a big park next to Harajuku)

Hungry tummies are asking for food: stopping at my favorite place in Omotesando to eat gyoza (Japanese dumplings - see photo below) with a bowl of rice and chicken soup.

Hungry but not enough to taste the gyozas... I have ordered too much and must finish them all!!

Ginza Dori last Sunday...

Mathias walking in the middle of the street (closed to circulation of course) 

A cat was quietly waiting on top of a road sign; he quickly became the attraction and everyone was stopping by and taking pictures (including Chloe who took this one) 

What a find! in a country where food and meat is very expensive and is bought per 100gr, it was quite unlikely to find this beautiful piece of meat at the food floor of chic department store Mitsukochi!

If I remember well, the whole piece was costing something like 250,000yen (about US$3,200).

Harajaku Lane (Tokyo)

 The Harajuku Lane gate. No pictures of fancy dressed-up girls unfortunately!

 Very difficult to get everyone coordinated on photos! there is too much going on around you!

A bit lost and very wingy too often... 

someone's got to learn to walk and walk, no stroller here!
