One of my complaints about moving from Bordeaux to Zurich was the relative (in)convenience in getting to Paris. Bordeaux is three hours from Paris by TGV, with trains every hour. Zurich, OTOH, was more than five hours from Paris. But now we have a new TGV route, cutting the trip down to four hours!! (Still not quite like in Bordeaux, but getting there!) So, when my husband had a conference to attend in France, I took the opportunity to gather up the kids and meet him in Paris for the weekend!
Naturally, the kids were thrilled because they got Bey Blades as their being-good-on-the-train treat. Fortunately that wasn't the only cool part:
Here Leo's pouting because his daddy just told him that he can't go on the ferris wheel.
And here he is happy -- right after riding the ferris wheel. Nico and Leo are both showing off the little souvenir Eiffel Towers their daddy bought them.
Leo also enjoyed riding the merry-go-round of extinct and endangered animals.
To keep it balanced, here's a cute picture of Nico too.
And the obligatory picture on the Paris Metro!
This picture reminded me of this other picture from long ago:
They grow up, but they stay the same in so many cute ways! When they were little, we used to take them out and run them around the fountain to get their energy out, and it's still a fun way to have a race!
I found another space invader to add to my collection.
And discovered that my sweetie has quite a knack for dramatic reading!!
A fun trip overall -- I can't wait to do it again!!

How fun! (I'm so jealous.)
My husband and I will be going to Paris and Amsterdam in September 2012. I'm already excited about it.
Tell me when you're visiting Europe -- maybe we can get together!!
