Saved the Best Manege for Last

The carrousel at the Jardin du Luxembourg was finally open and it was a very old one too (maybe why it isn't open as much).  The man that operated it also gave the kids on the outer horses a baton that they would use to capture rings.  I remember I had read about this game in a history book and it's where we got the phrase "winning the brass ring" or something like that.  Sean really liked the ring game and picked up 12 rings.  He said it was what he like the best about our trip.

 

 

Last Day for the Babas

Yesterday, Matt told the babas that on the last day we could do anything they wanted to do.  They picked the playground in the Jardin du Luxembourg.  

 Cute little Metro rider.

 Listening to music and lovin' the view.

 King of the dirt pile!

 

First Crepes on the Last Day

I wanted to have some French food on the last day, so I dragged everybody to La Crepe Dentelle a block from our apartment.  Thought that crepes would be an easy sell for the babas.  They were different than I expected: crispy, crunchy, and made with buckwheat.  Jack ate all his egg crepe plus a little of a second one; Sean wouldn't touch his ham crepe.  But they both enjoyed their own dessert crepe with ice cream, chocolate sauce, and Chantilly cream.  Of course!

 Yeah, I'm having some egg crepe.  What's the big deal?

 

 

 Bazinga!
