During my parents trip to France in June, I was able to get the time off so we spent a week traveling our Provence. We had a blast and enjoyed the time together.Near the pope's palace in Avignon.
We hiked in to one of our favorite coves and enjoyed some snorkeling and relaxing.

The wild flowers were all in bloom which made for some beautiful views.


Dad being a good sport for a picture at the castle of Les Baux de Provence.



Jaxon loving the fountain in a garden in Nimes.
At the beach we enjoy catching crabs. They are quick but sure a lot of fun once they are in Jaxon's hands.
Mom and dad on top of the Route des Cretes, a huge cliff which made mom a little nervous.
Dad captured this shot looking back towards Marseille from the top of the cliffs in the late afternoon.
Jaxon enjoying the view on top of Notre Dame de La Garde, Marseille's famous cathedral on top of the hill. Notice Jaxon's snail friend. He always finds snails anywhere we go and carries them all day.
Mom and dad in Nimes in front of the ancient Roman arena.
Jaxon really wanted to take his grandma and grandpa to the Pont du Gard, and ancient Roman aquaduct. Here he said, 'I am the Eiffel Tower of the Pont du Gard'

Jonas and grandma and grandpa on top a Provencal hill on a windy day. Jaxon was in school, and Jonas really liked all of the attention all day.
Grandma and Jaxon near the Bridge of Avignon.
One of our favorite Provencal towns is the nearby Cassis. We take every person who visits us to this lovely town and everyone loves it. The Vieux Port of Marseille was very busy on this nice afternoon. Dad spent a while admiring boats.
Taking a seat in the Roman arena. Today there were no gladiator fights.
Notice there are no gaurd rails on those upper level arches. We had to keep a close eye and hand on Jonas who seemed interested in getting a close up view.
I have found that kids love old ruins that they can climb on. Jonas enjoyed this old Roman library.

We had an outstanding time with my parents will always remember the high pace and eventful trip. The kids loved conecting with their grandparents after a couple years.
