Mont Saint-Michel Day 2

Sorry it has taken so long to get this next post up. It ended up being a really busy week!  Be on the look out for the girls' 11 month post soon! :)
Anyway, we spent day 2 going to this incredible place called Mont Saint-Michel. It is a place I had seen on a postcard about 15 years ago and have ALWAYS wanted to go to!   It is an abby built on an island (a road has been built out to it).  Before modernization it had a natural land bridge that would be revealed at low tide and covered at high tide.  The abby is named after the Archangel Michael.

Here is Ava at lunch before we went to the island. 

Isaac had his first Orangina and was lovin' it (French orange soda).

There is the island behind Marc.  *This is the point that we realized that we couldn't use the double stroller...we hadn't even thought of ALL the stairs this place would have.  We forgot both baby carriers at our hotel but we had the backpack that we use for Isaac that we put Isabella into.  We decided to use the umbrella stroller because it is easy to fold up and carry and I had a makeshift carrier (out of blankets) that I used for Ava....although she ended up in the stroller after we were done with the 300+ stairs!!

Such a neat place!   

Isaac did awesome with all the stairs!

*Isaac was super into the audio tour device (which he is looking at in the picture)...so much so that he had Marc's 99% of the day. :)

The makeshift carrier...she was getting really heavy by this point! 

Happy Isabella.  We tried putting Ava in the backpack but she wasn't a fan. 

Everyone was worn out by the end. 

Heading home. :)
