Chateau Sceaux and other dandy things

We were lucky enough to have the missionaries and our new friend Kyoko make us dinner one night.  They made homemade pot stickers and sushi and it was delicious.  One of the missionaries (Elder Tai) has been over many times and just left for home and we loved him.  We also have grown to love Elder Teh too!



The next weekend we checked out a new chateau - Chateau Sceaux.  It was lovely, but the grounds were even better, as usual!







Can you imagine how long it must have taken to create these wood floors?


They must have received some pretty big flowers to put in this ginormous vase!












































And what is a post with my cute niece???



With her cousin Noah at the library!

Provins - A Medieval Town

A few Saturdays ago, Jeremy and I went to the Medieval town of Provins.  It was so much fun to see this small town that is still completely walled in with ramparts and big draw bridges.  We intended on eating lunch there but hit some major traffic on the way so sadly stopped at McDonalds - don't judge!  I'm sure some movies have been filmed here...enjoy the pictures!












The town square where they would post the king's announcements, and probably execute people...







Cute hotel in the town.













Our usual first attempt at a selfie!







My size door...must have had tiny French people




There were cute shops that were in the basements with very steep steps leading down.  












After Provins, we went grocery shopping.  We parked underground and then grabbed a cart, which just magnetically clicked into the escalator, so as to not kill the person pushing the cart...or a runaway baby in the cart!


This aisle is completely dedicated to yogurt...both sides, as far as you can see.

They also were pumping music through that sounded like a latin american discotheque. Ha Ha!
