Summer vacation in Europe

This summer we had the opportunity to go on a long trip to Europe. Maman left for 3 weeks to France with Morgy and Melissa and pappa came to pick up Morgy after 2 weeks for him to spend 2 weeks in Finland... We all finished the trip with a quick visit to our friends/ family in Sweden! This was the grand-parents first meetings with Melissa so it was all very exciting and fun to have a newborn in the house again! Melissa was such a good traveler already so it turned out all great!



Papi Jeannot and Anny come to meet us at the airport!


Melissa very quickly starts to enjoy the afternoons lying in the grass by the swimming pool



Morgy gets his own house to build... with a little help!




Morgy gets a new game box





Shares good times with Emrik!



Learns about farming


Learns how to play "Petit Chevaux" with Papi Jeannot


While Melissa spends quality time with Mamie Anny


And her big brother!



And many baths are shared between the siblings...



Morgan learns how to "play" or blow in the recorder!


And les "rois des blagues" have a blast together!



As well as takng care of Missy Poo




The family gets to go to Fany's wedding!




Melissa is the youngest guest!




Who is just enjoying life...



While others are working hard herding cattle...


Or changing diapers with no diapers!


But life is so carefree in Tournecoupe in the sunflower fields...


Or just lying by the pool...



Bonding between siblings...


... or with maman!


Nothing like a visit to the zoo in Bordeaux


Or a little hike in the neighboring forests



Morgy enjoys games as much as his parents...


And swimming too!



Such a proud big brother


But nothing like playing with Planes and maman's Schtroumpfs!


We have special visitors both grown-ups...


... and kids!


Hanging out


Mamie Anny shares pictures of the mums with Morgy and Emrik


When pappa finally comes to meet us it's good to be reunited!


Before Morgy leaves to Finland a few last Tournesols are picked!


Melissa's first smiles...


And then just can't stop smiling!



We even get a short surprise visit from Tonton Fabs


Who enjoys bonding with Melissa


We get to celebrate papi Jeannot's 70th birthday! Fun!


3 weeks later off we go again...


Melissa just sleeps through the whole trip!


And wakes up full of smiles for Gammal mormor!


We are happy to share a bottle of champagne with the great grand parents!


Farmor enjoys finally smelling the "baby" in Melissa!


With our temp stroller off we go on a trip to Sweden!



Morgy enjoys the big boat ride and the Finnish archipelago



It's good to be all together again!


The Finnish Methers meet...


the Swedish Methers!


it's a big crowd of big people to feed!


Marie is enjoying having 3 kids!


The "cousins" definitely have a blast!


But nothing like sharing an ice-cream with maman!


As we all go for a picnic and swim on the swedish beach!


These guys are 4 months apart... (3yr and 9mo/ 4yr and 1 mo)


Love boat...


Especially when we get to meet Mumin!!!


Nice family brunch to see the fasters!


Before going in Nenne's boat to a beach in the finnish archipelago


Such a beach bomb!


who said it's cold in Finland?


Faster Lotta gets to bond with Melissa

And with Morgy



We all agree that Melissa looks like farmor!



And last but not least we get to meet Aurel, Reetta, Ella and the twins that don't know they are there yet!!!

It was a busy summer... we had a blast!!!!
