A Quick Trip to Paris (ie: 5 hours)

We had a little time (quite literally) before heading home, so we decided to take a whirlwind tour of some aof Paris' sights. . .
















Apparently this is the "make-out spot" - Arnaud and I just had to be cheesy and go for it!

Colantonio Family Reunion in Bordeaux, France


An afternoon in Saint Emilion:

















At the house. . .


Yes, that is Isabella holding a Nutella sandwich!!!




























































Isabella and Anna were inseparable the entire week. . .



Aren't these kids just beautiful - there must be something in the water in France. . .

















The three brothers and their wives:



















The Colantonio's of France:















The Colantonio's of Belgium:



















Isabella playing with her Great Grandmother (Grand-mamman)














































All the cousins recreating a picture from years ago:















The ladies hanging laundry:
























A Trip to the Franklin Park Zoo (Actually two trips!)

First we went when Grandma was visiting, then again when Nonno and Nonnina were here. . .

Is that Arnaud's long lost brother???
(Isabella's favorite animal is definitely the peacock - at least she loves saying it!!!)













(check out the lion in the background. . . shhh, kitty cat sleeping)

Fourth of July in Newton

Giddy-up!!!













We went with Mike and Rachel to a park in Newton that had a festival and a fantastic fireworks show!!! We all loved the fireworks, especially Isabella :) That girl is a thrill seeker! She made friends with another little girl at the park and they played, danced, held hands and hugged each other.
