Sortie avec l'ane






Loaded up and ready to go


Attempting half the donkey's load





Donkey love



Offering some grass








The donkeys find each other

View from our picnic spot


Another anthill....one of the children has placed a sandwich on this one....


Exploring


Sagey finds some champignons


Donkey repose






What's for lunch?




Finally!



Handing out les sacs


Waiting for their bags to be unloaded


Les Platres, our lunch spot!




One of many anthills we spotted





Sylvie shows the class a carnivorous plant





By the time we knew that donkeys won't cross bridges....








Crossing a field of alpine flowers



Donkey refused to go across the pont de l'amour


La maitress, our fearless leader




Checking out our companion from a safe vantage







The donkey handler gave us instructions (including telling us that this particular donkey was young and a "jokester" and loaded up the animal, but then cut us loose with the donkey and the mother who volunteered to lead her!




We really get to have a donkey!!!!!



Lining up at school





Ready for her assignment

I love how the donkeys are the celebs on this outing--getting close-ups and personal handlers!

Looks like a great day!!

They are really photogenic too....I think it's the ear to nose ratio...
