The opening

Chloe supplied the decorations.
Liam was interested in the presents, Dylan not so much.
Chloe reports the action.
Beatles stuff.
Liam approved.

Dylan talks to poophead.
Reading instructions.
Geared up.

Arriba

Dylan looking stunned, he can't believe he is in a Mexican food restaurant in Paris.
What!? No cheeseburgers?
Birthday boy.
Liam's brain told him to look away from the table for most of the evening, I approve.
This will do.
My dinner.
Happy again.
finished
Finished
Are those teeth!!!

Traffic is bad

We had to get out and do a little visa buisness but the road was blocked by a protest. Voltaire isn't the road that most protest take, it goes from Republique to Nation, historically protests go one block over to Beaumarchais so they end at the Bastille. Here Gretchen plots our route across.
Nice balloon.
Good old Saint Ambroise.

See that store Lily 3 across the protest? That's the street i need to take.
Ten minutes later the protest is still going strong.
Nice scooter.
The after math. A gang of street sweeper take care of business.

Who is Gibert?

Nice street art, this is a wheatpaste piece.
Look at all those pigeons.
Liam was mad that he had to leave the apartment so he was on a pigeon chasing strike.
Tower.
Chloe scooting.


Crossing the Seine.
Buildings.
It's only a matter of time.

Cookies!!

We decided to make cookies for a winter break snack. We started with real butter, since we didn't have a standard or metric measuring cup we just used all of it.
mmmm
Sugar was up next, we are calling this jar a cup.
Stirring
Brown sugar straight from the new world(thanks Co!!).
Stirring
Eggs and more stirring.
Flour, the french version seems slightly finer if that's possible.
A quick lesson in knife safety
and he's off.
Dylan was calling off ingredients and checking the off his list.
Adding chocolate.
Chloe cut and retains all her fingers.
And the last check is put on. The cookies were devoured before any pictures could be taken.
