what we thought was strep nope just a virus kyle also needed to go to the doctor and i don t remember what he had but he got put on an antibiotic steroids for his lungs and 2 other ones forgetting now i love it when i got out of town and my kids health freaks out posted by jen at 7 10 2012 5 comments labels jake kyle ears pierced another thing we needed to take care of when we got home was getting haley s ear s re pierced she had them pierced a few years ago but shortly after they were pierced troy and i went out of town an earring came out and the whole closed upon our arrival home kristin s ears were so infected that puss was coming out it was bad so we took them all out and let them close up free from infection lately haley has been begging for her ears to be pierced but i wouldn t let her until we got back from our trip i didn t want a re peat of last time because she has been begging for so long to do this she did not cry not even a tear this face is the closest she got to being sad but soon she got the mirror and got to see her new studs all was well a family watched the whole thing with haley and decided to get their daughters ears pierced since she did so well i have learned with haley that if she really wants it she won t complain i love that about her posted by jen at 7 10 2012 1 comments labels haley spring break we got home from europe just in time for our kids spring break we wanted to make sure we were home so that we could do family things while they were out of school troy continued to take the week off the first thing we did our kids have been dying to do for awhile that is going to airborne it s a trampoline place where they play dodgeball and jump they loved it then we of course had to do the easter festivities we went to copperton as usual for the easter egg hunt this year we also decided to do something a bit different we did our own egg hunt for our kids in the backyard we got candy we actually like and 100 eggs troy and i hid them and then each kid got to find 25 it was awesome we hid some pretty hard and the kids kept coming and asking for hints we amazingly found all 100 i get so sick of the egg hunts that aren t hunts that s the whole point on easter sunday the kids put on their best duds and we went to church afterwards we took a big extended family photo with the korths we are still missing a brother and his family 7 people total but with jon and donnarae in town we went ahead with the photo we ate dinner and did an egg hunt with the extended peterson side i missed my brothers and their families wish they weren t so far away posted by jen at 7 10 2012 1 comments labels easter family outings family photos tuesday may 22 2012 france day 8 we woke up to the alarm and got ready to go over to chateau de versailles it was directly across the street from our hotel which is why we picked it we got there about 10 minutes before it opened which was perfect we were third in line we went through security and viewed this amazing house it seriously is amazing the queen s bedroom nobody can pass the gate unless you are royalty the king s bedroom troy found it odd that his ceiling was plain nothing else in this whole chateau was plain in the backyard apparently kings have so much money they just build huge houses get sick of them and then build more of them then they turn the old houses into museums the art was amazing everything about it was amazing the gardens the art the furniture the architecture we left versailles and headed toward our hotel in paris we decided to stop at roland garros the location of the french open tennis tourney we had just missed the english tour but walked around a bit and bought a can of tennis balls we have now been to half of the grand slam arenas in less than a week we then made our way to our hotel it wasn t as difficult as we expected we got here and i am in love the lady that owns the place booked a photo shoot with me and she s a very gorgeous korean woman to get here you walk through a courtyard and then you remove your shoes we headed up 3 flights of stairs into our own apartment she had me at remove your shoes it was clean and modern no ancient things but comfortable a little kitchenette a small bathroom small but useable did i mention it s clean oh and we can make free calls to land lines in the us free wifi it s all so great i love this place we got settled and headed out we decided to walk toward notre dame we were both starving i had eaten a granola bar and a glass of apple juice that morning and it was now 3 and it was time to eat we kept walking by café s not sure what to get or which one to choose we finally found one we sat down to eat and it was fabulous we got a 3 course meal for 12euro s each i got yummy mozzarella and cheese salad troy got a potato salad but it was served on lettuce i got lasagna and troy got penne with tomato sauce we finished it off with a crepe so yummy we both cleaned our plates so good we continued to walk toward notre dame holy cow it s amazing huge old we were too late to take the last tour to the top hopefully we will have time tomorrow to go but we were able to walk in around the chapel they were doing a mass at the time and it was very interesting watching that definitely not anything i understand kissing plates and bowing hmmm the building was really amazing it took 200 years to build after that we got on a hop on hop off tour bus we rode it around and saw the main sites and decided to get off at the eiffel tower wow i never in a million years dreamed i would see it in real life it is amazing we walked around and down near a place where people were taking photos i offered to take someones photo and after a minute somebody would walk up and say take mine you re doing it for everyone else i took about 4 couples photos and then told troy we better get away fast before someone else asks us this is my favorite photo of the tour eiffel that skyscraper underneath the eiffel tower every parisan hates they want it torn down they say the best view of paris is from the top of that because you can t see it we hopped back on the bus and got off at the louvre wow all these old palaces that get turned into museums they say if you stopped and looked at every piece of art in the louvre for 1 minute it would take you 4 months to see everything it was closing when we got there but i really would like to go see the mona lisa we walked across the seine on a footbride and the bridge was covered in locks i googled it and found out they are locks of love it was crazy because some of them were inscribed others marked with fingernail polish or a sharpie the names of 2 lovers this is definitely the city of love people are making out all over the place we came back to the hotel and checked a few things out online then we decided to take an nighttime boat cruise on the seine it got to be a little chilly but it was fun we both find it enjoyable to take a relaxing cruise and listen to history on our way to the cruise i told troy that i didn t know how unfit people could travel i swear we walk at least 15 miles a day some of the time carrying everything we brought with us on our backs just don t know how other people manage it i am so exhausted by the time i lay down at night we got a crepe and hot chocolate after our boat ride and made it back to our fabulous apartment photo shoot in the morning with another long day of sight seeing we have reservations to go up to the top of the eiffel tower tomorrow evening we planned to be up there at sunset we will see how things go day 9 we woke up this morning and got ready for the photo shoot i had scheduled it went really well we did it at a gorgeous bridge in downtown paris it ended up that we traded the photo shoot for the hotel room and she paid me a bit more that is awesome it was such a great place too after that was finished we headed to champs elysees and arc de triomph both of which are really cool to see and say we ve been there but the champs elysees is just a big outdoor mall and everything is much more expensive than at home just couldn t justify making a purchase we then decided to go to trocadero to a street fair it was crazy probably ½ mile of stores and they weren t just fruit whole butcher shops were set up we bought a tiny container of raspberries and 6 oranges cost 13 50 euros holy crap it wasn t remotely cheap we ate a baguette and some of our fruit on a bench on the side of the street and then headed to the louvre you can see how small the mona lisa is from this photo i m guessing about a 16x20 it is so enormous and all i really cared to see was the mona lisa we made our way to see that which was an experience in itself there were signs everywhere that said to watch for pick pockets everyone is so busy looking up they don t pay attention to people bumping into them cause the room that holds the mona lisa is wall to wall people i wasn t too worried we had planned ahead and made sure we were not a target to pick pockets there was nothing for them to take unless the pried my 50 lb backpack from my back after the louvre we went to notre dame to climb to the top it was so awesome the view was amazing it was an overcast day and chilly in paris it took 200 years to build insane we had some time before our reservation at the eiffel tower and we wanted to go to montmarte where the movie midnight in paris takes place well we got off the train and we both felt unsafe it was crazy there there were some guys trying to tie bracelets onto us and we wanted no part in that we walked down the street turned around and got back on the metro we decided to eat at a street vendor for dinner sandwiches and then got a crepe for the eiffel tower line when we got there we realized that the police had shut the eiffel tower down there were over 50 strikers that had chained themselves to the top so we didn t get to go up the tower totally bummed at this point it was 7 30 at night and we were cold and decided to ride the bus to get souvenirs for the kids and head home to call them i truly loved being in paris i didn t enjoy all the smoking that went on but i loved walking around listening to the street music seeing people sitting in the outside cafe s and just feeling like i had gone back 50 years here are my favorite photos of paris i am imagining the music now it s so great and everything you expect it to be but once you re there it s just incredible this is my favorite photo why i don t know it just hollers you re in paris to me the waiter the outdoor cafe the building i will be printing this big this is the bastille i think this monument was built on the place where all the be headings took place sigh blue door windows love love love luckily for me on our way home we passed a patisserie this has to be my favorite thing ever so many goodies in one spot i chose 2 one for when we got home and one for breakfast so yummy we were both exhausted we talked to the kids on the phone and then stuck in our awesome ear plugs and face masks and were off to sleep i am so glad i have had those ear plugs they are these blue putty looking balls you seal off your ear works great tomorrow we are off to le mont saint michel day 10 we woke up and got ready and headed to the airport to pick up our rental car we are headed to the countryside of france and plan a stop in normandy on our way to le mont saint michel our rental car is awful it smells like cigarette smoke so bad i drove with the windows down and the heater on for the first hour the country was beautiful driving is so much better here than it was in england we splurged for a gps and my life was fabulous no navigating for me from paris to normandy or omaha beach it took about 4 ½ hours it was worth it we went into a museum and watched a video on what happened on dday afterwards we walked down to the beach i was surprised at how emotional it made me i am so grateful those young boys were brave enough to get off the boats and try to make it past the beach while being shot at and seeing their friends die around them the wings of hope so that the spirit which carried these men on june 6 1944 continues to inspire us reminding us that together it is always possible to change the future rise freedom so that the example of those who rose against barbarity helps us remain standing strong against all forms of inhumanity the wings of fraternity so that this surge of brotherhood always reminds us of our responsibility towards others as well as ourselves on june 6 1944 these men were more than soldiers they were our brothers we headed to the american cemetery it was amazing it was such a large property and i thought it was beautiful and fabulous i m so glad the us spent money to make it a beautiful place we had 1 ½ hours to go to le mont saint michel mont saint michel is what disney based the tangled castle after at high tide it s completely surrounded by water except for a roadway troy s back was hurting from driving all day and hauling our heavy packs around we hadn t eaten all day either i ate a few granola bars but other than that not much we got to the island and checked in to our room we headed to the local village to eat dinner nothing exciting just expensive at dinner we had both decided we were ready to come home we miss the kids troy doesn t enjoy traveling internationally i was really worried about not speaking french it was okay while we were in paris but being in the country hardly anyone speaks english it was hard at the restaurant tonight they had to go find a menu in english for us i want to just enjoy being here i know i will never come again i think this castle is amazing seeing the photos does not do it justice we are going to bed tonight so we can wake up early to make it to the top to see the abbey day 11 we slept well last night it was more sleep then we have gotten in awhile and i was wide awake at about 6 even though we didn t have to be awake until 9 this morning we stayed in bed trying to go back to sleep our rental car stunk so bad i didn t want to shower i didn t even want to waste the very few clean clothes we had at this point just because our car was an ashtray i know it should be opposite but i knew we would spend the whole day in the car on the way back to the airport about 6 hours so we woke up got our clothes from yesterday on and headed up the hike to the abbey i know it sounds gross i choose to think of it as going french the abbey was amazing there were some major steps on the way up but i didn t think it was that bad there were definitely people struggling up the stairs makes me very grateful for my active lifestyle being out of shape is an awful feeling the abbey was amazing it s so old it s thought to date back to 708 we were the first ones there and it was so wonderful we walked around almost completely by ourselves nobody was in our pictures it was so great i highly recommend getting to places as early as possible as we were leaving tons of tour buses ...
