The difference a year makes

From our trip to France last year (April 3rd, 2008) to the trip back this year (April 1st, 2009)

Yes, he likes climbing

With Grandpa Robert

With his grandfather however, things were a bit more physical - like the climbing of mount sofa.

1) Climb mount sofa from the Northern side (the steepest). This required the assistance of a sherpa, aka grandpa Robert.
2) Once on the top, stroll down the Southern side head first (picture #2)
3) Stop at mid-level and climb back to the top of mount sofa
4) From here, with the help of the sherpa, jump down the Northern side (picture #1)
5) Repeat
6) Go to step 5

With grandma Brigitte

During our stay in France, David stayed a bit with his grandma who tried to teach him one thing or two - not surprising from a retired teacher.

He enjoyed playing the piano, and particularly the high notes.
