Snail search

So a you know Liam made a snail in art this week and has been obsessed ever since, so we decided to go to a pet store and try to buy a couple as pets. I suggested that we go to the marche to find some but Liam won't even hear that people eat snails so to the pet store by Point Nuef we went.
When G isn't with us Chloe is in charge of D, she does a great job.

At the Hotel De ville they had a huge French Open thing set up. They had a couple of courts where kids could pick up some pointers,
a full sized clay court for adults to hit on,
and a huge screen showing the matches in progress.

The pet store was a disaster. No snails so Liam decided a mouse or rat would be a good substitute i said no. Then he decided a dog or a cat would be ok again i said no(the cheapest dog was 380 euro). Finally he disdainfully said a fish or bird would be ok, i had to break down the "apartment is really too small for a tank or cage" that is when the crying began. For those of you with a feel for the city the loud crying and whining lasted from the point nuef all the way to the picasso museum!! From the Picasso Museum to home he listed all the things he hated including the street we live on, Paris, and me. Good times.
