Hawkins Happenings

Here we go again.  The family photographer (Bev) has decided to try sharing our pictures
with you using Facebook.  Hopefully you won't have any problems.  Just click on the
pictures below to go to each Album.  Then, click on the first picture in line to start the
slide show.  We hope you enjoy this glimpse into our lives.

Album: Summer 0
Pics taken during a trip to Giverny (Monet's garden) to see the summer flowers (after already visiting in the spring and fall), a few flea market (read: artsy) pictures, Josh's b-day cake, Jesse's funny faces

Album: Summer 1
La Roche Guyon -- a visit to a nearby castle carved into the limestone cliffs along the Seine River -- some nice scenery if you're into that kind of thing
 

Album: Summer 2
Puy du Fou -- the first part of our vacation where we spent two days in a sort of "historical amusement park" -- with huge shows representing the different eras of local history. Think the grandeur of Disney with the history of Europe.

Album: Summer 3
Second stop on our vacation -- scenery, scenery and more beautiful scenery from the southwest corner of France -- a must-see if you love beaches like I do!

Album: Summer 4
Still in the south -- photos of our strenuous mountain hike -- more beautiful scenery

Album: Summer 5
Ile de Ré -- third stop on our vacation, this beautiful island off the west coast of France -- opposite La Rochelle.

Album: Summer 6
Bretagne -- a short stay in a B&B for missionaries before the boys returned to school -- a kayaking outing, and pictures of the tide coming in at Mont St. Michel.

Album: Fall 08
Miscellaneous fall pictures:  back-to-school at BFA, pictures of a gorgeous cathedral in Le Mans, France, where our C&MA team had its fall conference, pics of a visit to BFA in Nov including some nature pics, and Thanksgiving pictures.

Album: Christmas 08 (and New Years 09!)
Self-explanatory! Lots of family pics, pics of our New Year's revelry, with just a few artsy ones thrown in for good measure
