Yesterday i promised Louan i would take him to picnic, and i was myself quite excited about it, actually i was half excited, len is still not back and i miss having her by my side. But Louan comes first so this morning we went to "Saint Martin de la Brasque", a small village were you can find a nice small market. We bought 2 melons there and 2 aubergines. After walking a bit we headed back home and started to prepare our gears : towels, swimsuit, bread, cheese, melon, water bottle, camera, new clothes, the all "chebang"
And then happily we went to the lac which is 8 km from my house.

We set up our spot, unfold the towel on the floor, and i bring Louan and his toys by the side of the lac, where we could see a few kids snorkeling and playing. Louan stood there for a moment looking at them, i guess he was wondering what they were doing and maybe thinking that one day he would do the same. and then he started to meticulously build a sand castle.

After 30 minutes of play, i took him in my arms and we went for a walk in the lac to swim with the ducks, after a few "couacks!!" they were ok with our presence and made a few rounds around us. We met a few young French "mermaids", Louan was too shy to say hi, and then we went straight back to our spot, took out the melon, ate it and Louan gave a piece to a young boy near by sitting with his dad and mum. Louan likes to share.

Happy, we packed our things and went to the restaurant lac to order a small pizza and one ice cream for Louan's dessert.

The drive back home was quiet, half way i heard Louan says : " I love mommy...!!!" and he slept straight away in his car seat.

See you soon mommy, we can't wait to do a picnic with you.
