As usual, we were in a rush in the airport on our way to fly to France with no idea where we were going. Meanwhile, our grandfather and grandmother were about to wake up, getting ready to pick us up at 9:00 am sharp from Roissy Charles de Gaule airport. All my smaller brothers, Sem, Tadeus, and Basile were awfully confused but at last, we found the gate. I showed the tickets to the flight assistant and as soon as I did, we got in the plane. Though, the flight was worst than planned. Basile was crying wildly and Tadeus started yelling because Sem didn't show him how to play a game, but we finally arrived fourteen hours and thirty-six minutes later at destination: France. As soon as Sem saw his grandparents, he dased off, pushing everyone in his way and almost made grandma fall! Tadeus did the same thing exept he crashed into the wall (purposly). "You finally made it !" cryed our grandmother. " Well, DUH we made it" replied Sem. " You were one hour late young man (grandma is a time freak)" added grandma. " It was because of Basile. We had to change his diapers ten times and feed him baby food !". "Well anyways, let's get in the car and make our way to Courchamp (Our old cottage in Burgundy) ! " grandpa interupted, and off we were, to Courchamp. On our way, we saw the Eiffle Tower, L'Arc De Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Madleine, the Quai D'Orsay, the Invalides...every thing !! We got on the highway and an hour later, we stopped at a rest station since we were almost out of gas, Sem had to pee, Tadeus had a bloody nose, Basile was hungry, and I was vomiting all over the place ! We went to the toilet, bought food and drinks and we were back on the highway. As soon as we arrived on the bumpy rides of the county side, we started singing songs. About thirty minutes later, we arrived at Courchamp. Grandpa started running the hot water to see if the water was OK. Grandma rushed to the garden to see if the flowers were in good conditions. After that, all of us unloaded the car with all the baggages and dropped them beside the front door. At lunch, we had a barbecue with sausages. Basile still wasn't old enough so he still had to eat baby food. Grandma spent hours peeling vegetables to make some home made soup. She gave it to Basile but surely enough, he started vomiting (he is a VERY picky eater). Grandma started screaming when she started to put hot water in the tub for Tadeus. Cockroches started comming out from the drain ! Grandpa came in. He got bug spray and sprayed it on the cockroaches. For the rest of the night, Tadeus couldn't stop blabbing about cockroaches. The next morning, we had breakfast outside ! It was a beautiful, warm, summery day. But not for grandma, she couldn't stop herself thinking about cockroaches. Later the same morning, we went for a long walk around some fields. Basile and Tadeus were admiring the view, Sem was eating a cereal bar, grandma was pushing Basile's stroller, grandpa was just walking normally, and I was laying down in the middle of a field, enjoying the sun. When we went home, I was so tired I fell on the ground and had a quick nap. It was three p.m. and Basile and Tadeus also had a nap while Sem was playing outside in the garden with his toy solders. When we woke-up, we had an snack and our cousins came over. Marie-Lucie was six and Louis-Olivier was four. They were both very naughty kids and can easly get on our nerves, Marie-Lucie would want to play with my old barbies and horse figurines whil Louis-Olivier would want to play with Sem's fire trucks and try to break all his lego. Though, one thing is for sure, in all our time we still have fun together. They slept over for one week with their mothe and father, Claire and Yves. After they had left, there were only three weeks until the summer vacation was over. One of my best childhood friends, Stanislas came and slept over for five days. What is good is that he is my age and he is a boy and can play with Sem. Luckly, we only invite him, not his mean, bratty little sister, Erina. We made tree houses, adventure camps, and we even slept in the old horse shed. Late that night, (when we were camping) we heard a wwild pig. Sem started to scream while Stanislas went to investigate. At his suprise, it was our father making the pig noise. Dad laghed and laughed, proud of his trick. Sem was crying. We all went back in the house. I started counting how much days until school would reconvene. 'Only nine-teen more days', I thought.
