We returned last night from three days in Disneyland Paris. The kids -- all six of us are kids in Disney -- had a blast. We met lots of Disney characters and even found Daisy after a few days of searching. Jack gave hugs to each of them and Eli preferred to view from afar. After punching Mickey in the nose and digging finger nails into Mommy's neck next to Woody, he decided to stay in the stroller! Kayla really enjoyed all the thrill rides and made multiple trips aboard Space Mountain 2 and Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster.
On Wednesday, we entered the park early and practically had Fantasy Land to ourselves. We got on a ton of rides in a few hours and met Pooh bear before boarding the train for Paris. We had a delicious lunch including French wine, French fries, and a hamburger on one piece of toast??? Kayla and Mommom rode the tour bus from Notre Dame to Champs Elysees where we strolled and spent some dough in the Adidas store. From there, we headed to a the Eiffel Tower. After literally walking shoulder to shoulder with Barry Bonds -- sorry brothers, we didn't have time to get an autograph -- we photographed and played under the tower's shadow. Another crowded train ride and we were back in Disney. Happy first Birthday Noah!!!
Our final day was spent primarily in the Disney Studios. The kids loved the Playhouse Disney show. They clapped and danced with all their favorite characters. Eli loved the car and motorcycle stunt show and everyone enjoyed some ice cream before a quick parade sighting and the long drive home. Happy Birthday Oscar (9 yrs)!!!
