Flat Sally de Paramus, NJ avec Charlotte à Paris

At the end of November, Charlotte competed in the Paris Chess Tournament and thanks to Flat Sally's cheerleading, she finished 6th in the "mini poussins" (6-8 years) category.










After such a terrific performance, a mug of hot chocolate is well-deserved !



The girls also went to the Phénix Circus to see acrobats from around the world.








and to the Pinder Circus...





and then to the Quai Branly Museum that houses an impressive collection of objects from Oceania, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
