Les Fêtes Du Village

The two cousins are reunited and they are having a lot of fun. We are in the French Basque Country where during the summer, every village celebrates their cultural heritage. We took the girls to the funfair for some old fashioned -good times-. I liked all the vintage stuff, lots of barbe-a-papa in all colours, la pêche aux canards, slides and carousels. 

Olivia is talking more and more French as the days pass, because she has the vocabulary in her head and she understands everything, but she never really uses it because she is so used of talking Dutch at home. She follows Lilou's every move and imitates everything she does. It is so cute to observe.

Sundays at the Fairground

An afternoon at the fairground - some photos from the beginning of the summer (at the fair in our hometown) and some from the end of the summer (at the fair in Leuven). O loves fishing duckies and choosing presents. She has the most proud face when she gets her prize, so cute. She is not very keen on all the moving things. She rather observes from the side and when we ask her if she wants to go on the merry-go-round, the answer is a standard no - but if we go with her she likes it from the second time around. For a kid it must be so amazing - all these colours, noise, colored food and the dangerously moving things. I always said I would not take my kid to the fairground, but just this cute face on the first photo makes all your stupid principles go away.
