happenings

Nine long months of no blogging, excuse us. Mama is busy and we are too. So at this time, we will give you an update of what's happening in our life.

Me, Basti went in a summer camp thanks to Papa's company thru CE. I did tennis training and other activities for 15 days in the Côtes D'Azur. I have learned a lot from that training, to be independent and learn to live in a community. While Me, Mimi went to the center of France for 15 days of horse/poney activities and other exciting stuffs to do. I've also learned to be on my own, to take care of my personal stuffs and learn to mingle with diverse personality.

During the weekends we are out for trekking, rock climbing or other interesting stuffs to do around Marseille. We have a very nice weather so better to take advantage of it as winter is just around the corner. It's so unfortunate to just stay at home and watching tv and playing games can be boring sometimes.


For the second time, the family went to Costa Brava as Papa's diving club used to organize diving journey yearly just for the weekend. It was fun as usual as people are so nice and we have eaten delicious food.

This summer we went to Corsica for 3 weeks. After a year of not going there because of personal reason. This time, me (Basti) went camping with Papa and 2 adolescents just in front of vacation house. Papa introduced me to camping for the first time. An unforgettable experience indeed. Camping out, a 2 hours trek was necessary before we could get on top of the mountain. Papa prepared pasta for everyone that night. Sleeping in a duvet was just extraordinary, I guess I was the only one who was able to have a good sleep. The rest, unfortunately not cry.

We had visits from my Papa's childhood's friends (Thierry and Valerie) not at the same moment. We also had Tita Makis together with her husband. We went twice to the rivers and beaches so they could discover the beauty of Corsica. We guys went canyoning while the girls stayed at the beach biggrin !

We have played all the time with other kids, talked with the locals, or just simply promenading around the area. It was always fun to spend our vacation in the island of beauty. So to the next episode, have a nice day to everyone.

Magic Disney

After that wonderful wedding the next day was brunch with family and close friends. We have spent half of the day eating, talking, playing and taking pictures is a must to do. It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when we bid goodbye to everyone. We are so excited to our next destination !

According to Psychologist encouraging people to dream and and if you believe those dreams can come true, it will definitely happen ! We totally agree. Every child has a dream, a dream to travel, a dream to become a ballet dancer, a dream to become a doctor, well those are great dreams for the future and it's not impossible to happen. But for the moment, we aren't dreaming for those yet. We only want our wish to be granted. A simple wish! We have waited for so long on this occasion to be realized. It happened last Summer when our parents brought us to Disneyland Paris....for us one of our dreams came true !

Entering the gate, we were speechless ! It was really magic biggrin. Not only us were mesmerized but out parents too. We passed by the Main Street, USA - the charm and hospitality of a small town in the United States from the early 20th century. We have strolled past Victorian stores before taking a carriage to go eat ice cream at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour. Like the good old days, when Walt Disney was a boy.

Fantasyland - is the most wonderful country. This is where fairy tales and stories that inspired the Disney animated films come to life like magic. We have seen the show of all the disney characters and we were really happy to have met them.

Frontierland - Walk in the Wild West legendary riverboat cruise, mad rush to board the mine train Big Thunder Mountain ", playground Pocahontas - The Indian Village for your kids, and chills guaranteed to Phantom Manor. It was like we are living in the far west.

Adventureland - awaits you with its share of laughs and chills. You'll encounter pirates on the high seas, you will avoid the danger with Indiana Jones and you will climb the trees to the Cabane des Robinsons. We will never forget that stroll on the boat lol !

Discoveryland - is that predictions of visionaries come to life. Explore the outer reaches of the universe with Space Mountain: Mission 2 or Captain EO Michael Jackson. Wow, this is so cool !



Everything is really magic ! Can't wait to visit it agan when our little sister is big enough to enjoy all these wonderful rides and attractions. Last but not the least, we are very happy to have met TIta Nikki, my Maman's first cousin and her very nice husband Tito Allen. We have dined all together, talked and laughed the whole night. PERFECT razz !

tie the knot

After Chiara's arrival we have been so busy , that is why our blog is not updated. Sorry, we need to help our Mom in our own very little way. We try to adjust as well. of the new life we have. We are a growing siblings so we make sure to at least do our part and make life easier for everyone. Okay, enough for that because we want to share with you our Disney experience after this wedding post.

We know this post is super dooper late. We went by car as we have attended a wedding of my Papa's cousin's first in the North of France before heading to Disneyland. Of course, it's the best time to also visit relatives as we see them very rare. The wedding was just fantastic and we both have a nice opportunity to be a ring bearer and flower girl razz.

The Abbaye

The newly wed and us

It was incredible and impressive as there were 250 persons invited for the "vin d'honneur" (it is a cocktail served between a marriage ceremony and before going to the reception). Everyone celebrated and enjoyed that wonderful wedding day.
