Back to the English translation, it's been a while! On Saturday we went to the orchard, it was cool, we hand-picked lots of apples, ate them as we went along, Clara loved it! She had so much fun, she rolled in the grass, it was great!


Je me sens coupable car je n'ai pas mis a jour le blog depuis environ une eternite, mais bon on n'a pas vraiment le temps, ou plutot on ne le prends pas. C'est pas grave, on fait ce qu'on peut, quand on peut, et puis surtout on prend du bon temps en famille, c'est l'essentiel.
I feel guilty for not having updated the blog in like forever, but we don't have the time anymore, or we choose not to take it. It doesn't matter, we do what we can, when we can, and above all, we spend some good family quality time together, that's what matters.
On a emprunte un jeu pour l'ordi a la joujoutheque pour Clara, alors maintenant elle se met devant l'ordi comme une grande et elle joue! We borrowed a computer game from the toy library, so we put Clara in front of the computer and she plays alone!

At last, we were back at baby swimmer's classes on Sunday, Clara loved it, she was the child who laughed the most during the class, she just loves water, which is a good thing, as she's going to see lots of it in less than two weeks when Clara and I fly to L.A. for our sunny holiday to California.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Tadoussac, where we went to see the Compiegne family and friends. It was our first attempt at camping, it was a real success. We had such a wonderful time, it was magic.





Une autre viree nous a emmene jusqu'au Lac St-Jean, a trois heures de quebec, c'etait super beau, on a vraiment profite de notre dernier weekend d'ete. On etait en camping rustique, au programme pas d'eau potable, toilettes seches et la civilisation (et le parking) a 4 kilometres du camping!
Mais c'etait super bien, trop court comme d'habitude.
Another trip led us to Lac St-Jean, a three hour drive from Quebec City, it really was a beautiful place, we made the most of our last summer weekend. We were staying at a rustic camping site, with no drinking water available, out house, and 4 kilometers from civilization (and the car park).
But it was really nice, and too short of course as usual.




Il me tarde deja l'ete prochain.
Pendant que j'ecris ce blog, ma Patounette adoree est entrain d'accoucher, je pense fort a toi tu sais ma cherie.
En meme temps Douggie est entrain de preparer son poster pour sa conference a Santa Barbara, bon courage mon cheri, tu vas y arriver!
Desolee pour le manque d'accents, c'est a cause de mon nouveau portable a clavier anglais!
Les arbres commencent a tourner au rouge, l'ete est bel et bien termine, les temperatures frolent deja le zero le matin, ca sent l'automne, et presque l'hiver meme.
En tout cas meme si l'ete a ete plutot moche en general, nous on a enfin fait l'effort de decouvrir ce que le quebec a de mieux a offrir: une nature magnifique, immense et plutot sauvage, meme si tout est regi par des organismes et que tu dois payer partout ou tu veux aller!
Voila, pour finir, une pensee speciale pour ma niece Elsa, dont c'est l'anniversaire dimanche: Joyeux anniversaire, joyeux anniversaire, joyeux anniversaire Elsa, joyeux anniversaire! 6 ans, c'est fou comme le temps passe vite...
A bientot.
I am already looking forward to next summer. The trees are already turning red, summer is definitely over, temperatures are reaching next to zero in the morning, it feels like automn, it almost feels like winter already.
Still, even if this summer was rotten overall, we at last made the effort to discover the best of what Quebec has to offer; A beautiful nature, immense and rather wild, even if every place you go to is managed by some organisation and you have to pay to get anywhere!
A special thought to Liz and David, who are about to fly back from China, we wish you a good trip back and a good return to Scotland.
Till next time.
