We wandered out to Parc de Sceaux to meet one of Michael's 1st friends, Geo. We met Geo and his mom because she spoke English to him in Square Rene Legall. And me, in my sheer desperation clutching my then 6 month old Michael yelled out, "YOU SPEAK ENGLISH!!!"
And in my head, she was to be my friend. And luckily, it ended up happening that way!
So we spent the day with Geo and his family at the playground out there. It was REALLY imaginative and cool. Slides shaped like dinosaurs, play areas that looked like HUGE book cases, benches made of music notes/paper. And then a huge fort/play area with 2 tall slides. I would LOVE to do a shoot there one day!
The boys were a bit put off by the cold at first, but then warmed up little by little. It started witha bit of bubble blowing:
Then flying through the air:
After which we played some more and started the walk to Geo's place. Here are the boys at the top of the stairs figuring out what to do to get down:
Love that fountain there...the parc had a chateau and fountains and was really gorgeous. A place you wouldn't normally go to but we are so glad they live near there so we can see it and them!
Here's Chady playing airplane in the big open field on the way home. It's probably the only open field in all of Paris and its surrounding suburbs:
And Michael laughing at Chady trying to hide behind a tree:
We went back to their place for a delicious lunch of pizza!!! And good stories, great hot beverages, and a rousing game of Operation. That game is MUCH harder than I remember. :)
It was really fun.
