Vacation Photos - Day 3-5 (Paris)

 Day three we started at Notre Dame, where they were starting services and welcoming "especially those of you who may be from Sweden."

Afterwards we walked to a park, which had a pretty awesome playground (even if you did have to pay to get in).  Jacob loved the zip-line track.

And everyone loved looking for fish and watching the sailboats in the pond.

 We took a long walk to find this kid-friendly bar / disco / store of curiosity.  It did give the older boys opportunity to use a urinal in public.

Day 4 was the last full day in Paris - and we began the day at the top of the Eiffel Tower.  We were a little concerned because as soon as we stepped off the first elevator, an alarm started to sound that said something to the effect of "there has been a security breach. The site is now closed to the public.  Please make your way to the nearest exit."  However, the workers didn't seem at all perplexed, so we got on the next elevator and went up to the top.  :)

Once we were back on the ground, we visited the Arc de Triomphe and walked down the des Champs-Elysees.  There were a lot of cool car stores and Jacob sat in every car that was permitted to sit in.

We ended up at a park with in-ground trampolines!

Before finishing at the Louvre, where we threatened the kids that they had to go in and have their picture taken with every piece of artwork before we'd take them to dinner.  We actually had no plans to go inside since the adults had all seen the Mona Lisa before.

Day 5 - we packed up our stuff and loaded onto the train to Poitiers.
