More Toussaint visiting

Saturday evening, Frédéric's childhood friends Eric and Natacha Dubort and their kids, Alexandre and Matthieu, came over to spend the night. Alexandre and Benjamin got a kick out of seeing elementary school class pictures where their dads were their age.

We were fortunate to have gorgeous weather, so we got to try out the neighborhood ping pong table for the first time in the five years we've lived here.

The spectators were enthralled.

The boys played up on top of the hill:


and played battle tops.

Everyone got in on the ping pong action.


And there was a game of Puppet Ping Pong, too.


Eric just got transferred to southwestern France, near Spain, so next time we get together, we may have to take the airplane and make a whole vacation of it.
