Easter Field Trip

The school had an Easter field trip, I was asked if I wanted to be a chaperone. I accepted and decided this time I would dress up because the French always look nice. I showed up on the day of the trip and everyone was in sneakers.
There is no school bus we would walk to our destination.

In remembrance of Jesus we walked out of the school with the
kindergarteners all waving palms at us.
It was a very special feeling



Tatiana has a crush on this boy Antoine and I guess he likes her too



Here we are on our way and me with the wrong shoes!!

every time we stopped the kids would get a color ribbon to tie around their palm, it represented flowers and Spring.


we ate lunch


The head master collected all the palms and put them around a table
