Another day another park

Dylan on the play ground. This is the park near the kids' school in the 15th.
G at the bottom of the rock pile.
Liam climbs up.
Chloe is a monkey.

Chloe and D on the rock pile. Just a note, Paris has parks everywhere and apparently no one has ever gotten hurt and sued the city because most of them are awesome and dangerous, no foam or wood chips here thank you.

In the apt.

That is right, flame grilled steak and carmalized union flavored Pringles.
Victor Hugo's house. This is a 30 minute walk from the apt with kids.
Dylan at the bathroom window.
Cute right? Believe me it's no fun when you are sitting on the pot(it faces the door) and Dylan is checking things out.
Liam loves to sit here and decide what he wants for dinner.

Modern art makes me want to rock out

D is lead away from the art.
Guess which museum bathroom this is. In my defense it's hard to find a free bathroom in Paris and the ones in the museums are always nice and clean.
The view from the top of the museum.
