4,654 steps (but lots of swimming!)
We caravaned with 3 other families to the Lac du Saint Cassien, about an hour away. It's a huge reservoir northwest of Cannes and Grasse.
The water was a bit murky--we've been spoiled by our crystal-clear river gorges! But it was the perfect temperature and a gorgeous day. I love watching our kids play...and play...and play. They never get tired when there's water to play in. I swam a few times and went out on the paddleboard to the other side of the lake.
You know it's a good day when all the kids get upset because we have to go home. Zari was kicking the ground as hard as she could as we walked back to the car on the gravel path. She wanted to keep hunting for frogs.
The Bastille Day fireworks are about to begin, but we're boring and are staying in tonight. The national independence day celebrations here in France are so different than what I grew up with in the States. In the US, everything is commercialized and decorated. American flags on napkins, cups, t-shirts, cars, porches, pies, and cakes. Stores are decorated in red, white, & blue. Everywhere you look you see *stuff* signalizing the holiday. And here...you'd never know it was Bastille day except for the fireworks and of course most stores and businesses being closed.
