A SPECIAL TREAT FOR SARAH! | VERDON GORGE, LAC SAINTE CROIX | VANLIFE FRANCE
Lazy sits in the corner of the van drinking a cup of tea. Creepy can't think of a better start to the day than the view. The window is dirty because of Jace. Footage of the girls on the beach, mountains and Jace playing with his cars. Drone shots. Lazy can't cope with Jace because he's walking around saying "I love you Esme" "I love you Mama". Mila fell asleep in her chair an hour ago to the white noise machine but she's not strapped in so Lazy is sat with her. She thanks everyone for tuning in and watching the vlog. Yesterday was Lazy's favourite day of the trip. They've been travelling for a monthish. She doesn't know why yesterday was her favourite day, but it's probably because they did nothing. Jace and Esme covered themselves with mud, then they cooked baguettes filed with lasagne and watched the stars last night. They saw 12 shooting stars and there was "so many stuff" in the air. UFO literally stands for unidentified flying object and they saw some. The shooting stars were all so different. Creepy turns the engine on because they're filming something for the van tour. They saw a green star, had cups of tea, got into bed and went to sleep. Today they're finishing off the van tour they started filming two weeks ago. Creepy needs to film the bed part as he wanted to do it somewhere nice. The tour is going up tomorrow. They're going to drive further around the lake.
Only five people and no babies are allowed on the pedalo. They drove around to where you get them from so Lazy will get an hour to herself with the rest of the children whilst Creepy looks after Mila. Normally he would take the kids on the pedalo but Mila is older now and it's easier for Creepy to pacify her. Lazy is excited to have proper time with Jace and the girls. Jace wants to go on a green boat but Lazy tells him they're all white. She tells Isla they'll take it in turns to go at the front.
Lazy and the kids are off. She tells Jace to stay where he is. Drone shots. Jace is trying to get into the water and Lazy is holding him over the side so he can put his feet in. More drone shots. Lazy screeches about the view. Jace is pedalling the boat. They're heading over to the cave. Esme wants to jump in. Lazy sees a beetle drowning so wants to save it with her flip flop. Jace wants to hold it but Isabelle isn't keen. The mud is like jelly. Lazy tells Isabelle she should get in. Jace want to go in the sand but Lazy says no because it's mud. Lazy laughs at Esme and Isla struggling to hold onto the boat.
The situation is Isla is getting a ride on the back of the boat. Jace is screeching at the drone. They're heading back because the gorge is shaded. The Inghams are making lot of noise and Esme is screeching at Lazy not to leave her. Lazy tells Jace not to stand up because she doesn't want him to fall. Isabelle will have to be the one to save him if he does because Lazy is sitting back and filming herself without a care in the world.
I hope Esme is enjoying herself because next year she won't be able to swim as she will be babysitting Mila. Lazy forgot how hard it was being on a boat with a two year old. She says it's a relaxing sail back but then films Esme and Isla and says it's not. Jace is being good. Apart from their voices it's calm and peaceful. The girls are getting back on the boat. Music to footage of the kids on the pedalo.
Lazy laughs at Esme trying to get into the water. Isabelle is joining her but makes a song and dance about it. Lazy laughs at them and films them swimming. They need to go back because Creepy is pacing up and down the beach bouncing Mila.
Back at shore Isabelle tells us she thought she was going to pass out. Lazy is laughing at her as usual. She couldn't get back on the boat because there were other boats next to her and she was getting squashed. Lazy said she's have to pull her onto the platform but isabelle says she couldn't get on because she's too long. Lazy corrects her and tells her it's because she has no upper body strength. You need a lot of body strength because it's higher than the water. They came back to a sleeping Mila and a singing Creepy. Jace is washing the pebbles.
Creepy wasn't ready to let go of Lac Sainte Croix but they are saying goodbye tonight, and maybe even to France as well. They didn't intend on stopping in France on the trip yet and it was meant to be a blow through. They stopped at Lac Sainte Croix because the weather was good. Before they go they're cooking dinner with a view of the lake. It's the most pretty scenery ever. This is why van life is so fricking awesome, as you have views like this. Funeral music to shots of the lake and surrounding area.
Lazy and Esme are having some time together. They're about to get a crying Mila to bed. Jace is in bed already. Lazy wishes we could see what they can see. It looks like the whole universe. they decided to stay at the lake tonight so they can wake up and have coffee before they head to a new country, one they've never been to before.
