Two weekends ago, Chloé and I met up with some girlfriends in Lyon, France (an hour and a half away from Geneva) for some girl talk, shopping, and good eats. Lyon is a beautiful French city (the second largest in France and only second in size to Paris). I can't wait to bring Jacob and Abram for a day trip and some good bike riding around this city.
When we arrived on Saturday morning, there were little farmers' markets going on along the river. Look at these beautiful baskets of strawberries!
Me, Chloé and my good friend, Sarah, who is also Abram's nursery leader at church.
Since she is still my little baby, Chloé accompanied me for the trip and for all of the shopping. During this trip, she officially reached the "I can crawl and I know it" stage - aka as "get me out of this stroller, I want to climb on everything and eat anything I can see on the floor" stage or the "I am going to arch my back so that you can't contain me in the stroller anymore" stage. She is so cute though, even if she has grown out of the perfect little shopping companion stage. This was the one floor on the top level of a baby shop that seemed okay to let her crawl around on. We decided that she could be the baby model for all of the baby things that they had on display there.
Here is the girl group. Thanks for the fun day which also included two stops to Subway sandwich shops, a chance to scope out the Gap in France, some serious shoe shopping, and a great French cuisine/lunch that sometimes kept us guessing what we would end up being served. Lunch turned out to be fabulous and mouthwatering in the end. . . phew!

That looks like such a fun trip with great friends Jessi - you and I should take some girl trip sometime and leave the kids with the boys! The strawberries look amazing and Chloe looks adorable crawling!!
Girls trips are so fun--it looks like your was great! I love the strawberries picture--I can't wait for June!
Chloe is adorable. That is a hard age when they decide they are done with the stroller, but you aren't! :) Good thing she makes up for it by being so sweet & cute!
Great girl trip! Chloe is so cute. The kids would like to request a video of her crawling. She is getting so big!
