Unfortunately
the weather seems to have turned on us,
today was much worse than yesterday and many
of our groups were forced inside or to
alternate excursions because of the rain.
The Eight year olds, who were supposed to go
to Nyon Piscine today, went instead to the
indoor pool in Geneva, and the four year
olds, who were supposed to go in the
afternoon, went to the Natural History
Museum to visit Alan, the two headed turtle.
The Five’s went to Signal de Bougy all day
where they made lovely loaves of brioche
bread in the shape of various monsters. In
the afternoon they visited the visited the
petting zoo to see the goats, horses,
rabbits, and of course, the incredibly large
pig and his equally overweight pig wife and
mini-pigs. Apparently there was a successful
sighting of the Signal Fairies- this is the
first sighting all summer and I suspect it
was the cooler weather that tempted them to
come out of their hiding places.
The Seniors We also had two groups of
Seniors go to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne
today. They were greeted by a guide from the
museum, they spent an hour or so watching
videos on past Olympic events, and then
spent the rest of the day visiting the
exhibitions and doing a scavenger hunt
throughout the Museum. I think it turned out
to be much better then the proposed Jura
Hike, which they were supposed to go on,
would have been. Hopefully these clouds will
clear up soon but the weather for the rest
of the week is predicted to be much the same
as today, so parents please ensure that your
children have raingear with them for the
next few days.
