Pentecost Monday is a holiday in France, because France is a secular country, which believes strongly in the separation of church and state. Oh. Wait. Let me try that again. Pentecost Monday is a holiday in France, because Pentecost has to fall on a Sunday, and that just isn't fair, and France is a secular country, which believes strongly in the separation of church and state, except when it comes to days off of work, in which case they'll happily profess whichever faith will give them the most days off. There, that's better.
So on Pentecost Monday, the boys' swim team had a meet in Soissons. And because we saw another team having a whole barbecue at lunch time at Benjamin's last meet, we decided to imitate them this time - much more fun and friendly than eating plain ol' sandwiches.

| Benjamin, doing his beloved backstroke. |
 |
| Noah, doing his favorite, the breaststroke. |
 |
| And more Noah - about to touch the wall and turn for another lap. |
 |
| And more Noah - rejoicing in being the only one in the smaller pool near the end of the meet. |
