Fancy French Day

Our next 'travel destination' was France. Damon picked this country. We started the day by learning about and building the Eiffel Tower. We used toothpicks and marshmallows, straws, and Legos. The kids really seemed to enjoy it, and Mackenzie just ate the marshmallows so she was happy too! We listened to Debussy and looked at some paintings by Monet. But the highlight of our French Day was definitely the food!!

Damon's prototype before it was glued down.

This one was a little tricky, but Kyler built his quick and easily.

Bentley and I did this one together.

Damon is quite the perfectionist, so he asked for some help.

Radley did this all on his own.

This one too.

Damon's finished tower

Mackenzie was way too distracted by the food to look at me for a picture.

I didn't think this would be such a big hit, but the kids loved the fondue!!

Damon was proud of his tower in the end.

Quiche Lorraine.  I snuck in some spinach, but they all ate this too. 

Radley's finished product

The hit of the night were the crepes!  Mackenzie sure loved hers!

Busy working

We even built some out of dice!

So good!!  Nutella and ice cream filled crepes topped with strawberries and a chocolate drizzle!! YUM!!

Damon making sure he had everyone's attention as he taught us about France!

We need to make these more often!
