A Year of Quinn (Part 2)

MAY

In May we visited family again in Belgium, visited friends nearby and took it easy at home.

Playing, walking, visiting in Belgium with the fam.

Visiting our friends near Paris.

JUNE

The Summer! We went for lovely sun filled walks in the countryside around my parents' place, Quinn had his first ride in the kayak, we picked cherries from our tree, and Quinn finished his year at daycare....


Walking in the Summer sun in Montmirail.


Quinn's first (sort of) ride on a horse.



Kayaking!


Our very own cherries from our very own tree. Quinn absolutely loved them. We even managed to teach him how to spit out the pit!


Stealing dad's toast. Love that blueberry jam!


Goofing around with our neighbor Garence.

JULY

In July I was off on tour again with Aida. Jos and Quinn met up with me in Bordeaux and then we all went together to the Dordogne for a bit more work and play.



On tour in Brittany. Not bad!


Playing outside Bordeaux.



Swimming... probably Quinn's favorite part of the Summer.


AUGUST

Lots more traveling in August. Both for work and pleasure. But mostly pleasure. We managed to fit our vacation around the gigs that Jos had with his one-man show. It ended up being the perfect plan. We had an amazing three-part holiday in Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. Jos played twice in Slovenia, once on an island in Croatia, and we all got to stay on and soak up the atmosphere, and the sun. Nice work if you can get it!


Before we left on our mad gallivanting we went to Belgium again to visit the clan.



In Austria we stayed on a working farm that was also a bed&breakfast. Quinn developed a deep fascination with tractors both big and small.


Walking in the mountains outside Salzburg, Austria.

Next stop the beautiful city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. We stayed for a week and almost wished we never had to leave.
We all completely fell in love with the city, and we're already planning our next visit.

And then we arrived in paradise. The island of Cres in Croatia. Wow!


We stayed at an amazing house on the island which came with a Donkey, Luca.
As soon as Quinn woke up each morning he raced outside to feed him .


Fresh, grilled sardines and fries... what could be better?!




Basking, boating, swimming... It was hard to leave... but September was calling and there were things to be done...

To be continued with Part 3 tomorrow...
