Study Break...

 The weather here has really been warming up and we're loving it. So thankful the snow on the mountains is finally starting to melt and we're getting good waves of warm days. Last week one day when we were out of school, Stephen and I spent the morning studying... our beloved French, then in the afternoon we both met with our "language partners" (people who have become friends and along the way have helped us "try out" what we've learned in class.
After being a little burned out from an entire day of french (well, that's our life really)... we needed a study break. So, about 25 minutes from our house is Lake Annecy and so we headed out for an adventure. We had never been here, but my language partner told me me about a little beach area and so we went. It was exactly what we needed. We didn't get there until about 4:30 in the afternoon and stayed about an hour and a half... but it was perfect. A break from the books, beautiful scenery, and fun with the family. It was nice as the beach (rocky sandy area) wasn't that crowded, but the water was COLD COLD COLD!!!! But again, worth it!
