This weekend we got Daniel his Father's Day present...a bike... so he could ride with us. I got mine 2 years ago... It was a balmy 60* and the sun was out so we decided to take advantage and appreciate Daniel a little early. Now let me get back to that 60 degree weather. Back in March/April we were in AL. Came home in winter clothes (it was still dead middle of winter here) and had to buy all new summer wardrobes. Came back here, winter again. Awesome. Anyway, apparently when the sun even peeks out and the temp is above 59, it's summer. I was in town one Saturday and every pasty, chubby Brit was sporting tank tops and cut offs. It was amazing. I was in my winter coat and scarf. I know most of my readers back home have commented on how brisk their day is and have piled on a layer or two when it drops below 85. It's so weird how quickly you acclimate to the weather. However, I will never get used to being cold. NEVER. I pray that our next base is in a location so hot that I have to apply deodorant 5 times a day and never be able to wear a color that shows sweat.
A couple weekends ago we took a trip to Paris for a few days. Paris was nice. I got to see things that I'd only read about or seen in books. I also inhaled more second hand smoke than I had in my whole life. Like, in Disney Land I am truly surprised that the characters weren't walking around with a smoke. Everyone, EVERYONE was smoking. I coughed and prayed that this would not be detrimental to my children's health. The boys had fun though so that is all that mattered. They were so good and everyone who took the tour bus with us congratulated us on how well behaved they were. It helped that another child on the bus screamed her little lungs off 10 hours down there and 10 hours back. If we ever decide to go back it will not be last minute and we will take the Chunnel!
Eli dancing out in front of an old veterans hospital and I believe Sophia Loren's apartment?
I wish we could have just packed a picnic and spent the whole day here!
River tour of the city. Eli was not impressed.
The Louvre
She was a lot smaller than I thought she would be!
He just hung out in here for most of Disney.
We hung out here a while....
Eli loved the statues, NOT the actual characters...
His excitement was all we needed to make the trip a success
The Radiator Springs was really cute...
This was a little scrambler type ride. I reminded myself of my mom while I was holding his head in place, afraid that his tiny little neck would break from being whipped around. She and I are both idiots... haha
I forgot to mention the boys got a trampoline. As soon as Eli wakes up he wants to "go bounce."
