Spring in Brittany

Time flies! We haven't posted a blog in some time, so with a couple months left in the year, we wanted to share some images of our life since earlier this year.

In April, we headed to Brittany for several days of sun and fun with grandma Maminou, great grandparents Maïé and Robert and grandpa Papitou.

After arriving in Brittany, we headed to the port of Roscoff to meet Maminou who was returning a stay in England with her dear Paul. She had taken the overnight boat, and upon arrival, we hopped on yet another boat to spend a day of hiking on Ile de Batz, a beautiful island with a centuries-old agricultural tradition inland and well preserved wild coastlines on the edges.

Here comes the boat to Ile de Batz!

Fields of Cauliflowers

Back to the mainland!

Spring at Maminou's house is great fun, with flowers growing and streams running, and strawberries and artichokes coming into season!

Don't touch my strawberries!

Another adventure came when Maminou's friend Louis, who has a farm nearby, asked if Milo would be interested in helping him pick up some seed for spring planting on the tractor.

We all took a ride after we got back to the farm...

In the distance is Landernau, the city where great grandparents Maïé and Robert have their apartment on the bridge over the river.

And of course no trip to Brittany is complete with some good time spent with great grandparents Maïé and Robert at their summer house at Logonna.

Milo's first priority it always to start a fire with Grandpère Robert.

It was a day full of treats and adventures...

Finally we ended our trip with a visit to Papitou, for days of fun at the beach in Plomodiern and in Papitou's Douarnenez home.

Heading up from the beach to Ty Gard for dinner...

Back in Douarnenez...

As it turned out, Milo had one last treat in store for him, as the Circus was in town! The old-time traveling circus had made its way to Douarnenez, and this little family affair turned out to be quite a spectacle.

Milo had a lot to tell Papitou afterwards...

And back home in Paris, it would take a lot of yoga to recover from our vacation...
