The Big 'One'

Theo celebrated his first birthday (Aug. 18th) during our vacation on Île de Ré. He was amused by the presents, though he prefered playing with the packaging rather than the gift it contained. Since we were on vacation, the party was small. However, luck had it that family friends were vacationing in the area and joined us in the celebration.

Île de Ré was great and Theo enjoyed the surf and the sand. Our friends Pam and Vincent Balandras stayed with us for part of the time. Their daughter Léonore and Theo stared in constant wonderment as we pedaled by bike through the different ports of call and the various beaches located on the island.
