The hay behind our house was cut down and bailed up over the past few days.
And we took our first trip to France. We drove over and caught one of the stages of the Tour de France...it was about 2 hours from our house that day. We set ourselves up 500 m or so from the end of the stage. The cars, campers, buses and crowds were entertaining... especially this particular car tent.
And we were there VERY early, so Kacey had hours to play in the creek. 
Of course, my camera batteries died before the bikes came by...oh well...it would have been a blur anyway.But, it was great to be there and we would recommend it highly. But, it wasn't so different from the Tour de Suisse or the Tour de Georgia.
We did learn the next day that we were fortunate to see it. We met up with Neal and Amy in Geneva Sunday morning, July 15, and we tried to go back to the stage that day, but the after sitting in Atlanta-style rush-hour traffic for a long time, the roads were closed before we made it. We stopped and spent some time on a French beach at Lake Annecy instead, then drove back to Fribourg that evening to kick off a week with Neal and Amy...which is always an adventure!
And, I can't resist finishing our Tour de France posting with a photo of our favorite cyclist...
