Jeannette's visit

Cade here, been a while since I've done some bloggging. We've had a fun time lately, as would be expected. Kristi's sister Jeannette has been with us for the last 10 days, and Kristi's been having a great time being a tour guide. Here are some of the highlights...

Us three at Sacre Coeur

Can't really see, but that's Jeannette and Kristi on a bridge in a random park in Paris

Les Invalides

Then here is where the highlight, in my opinion, begins. This is one side of the Chateau of Blois. We decided to do a bike ride in the Loire Valley on Saturday, biking from Blois to Cheverny, to Chambord, then back to Blois. All in all, about 32 miles, and it was a blast.

The four of us, invited Ross Rudd who we met in the ward and is in Paris for a few months.

This is how we took pics of it, because we didn't want to pay the entrance fee

Awesome countryside

So much fun



Now getting back into Blois, it was so great. We really love the French countryside, and it surprisingly wasn't as hard as any of us thought it may be (since none of us have ever ridden that far).

Oh my goodness! I would love to do that bike ride! Karen and Renee were talking about how you wanted to do that with them and they were thinking no way could they ride that far. Maybe after they see these pictures the might change their mind.
