Le Tour de France

On a Saturday morning in July we sat eating breakfast and were talking about how exciting it was that the final day of the Tour de France was the next day. Then we realized how close we actually were to it and decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity to go. So we scrambled and jumped in a taxi and less than 2 hours later we were on a train making our way to Paris for a quick one night stay!
We had a great spot to watch the race where they passed us 7 times in the final laps. It was so exciting to wait for them to come flying around the corner.
We came across this amazing nature art exhibit
This picture pretty much sums up my life right now.
We found a Mormon church on Sunday morning and it ended up being the highlight of the trip for me. I always love to meet members of the church in different countries.

The Louvre
I don't know who's kid that is, but I don't think he's supposed to be climbing there

Only Otis could and would get away with climbing under a naked statue. Did he ask if you had a p.p?
