With our first night of kids in bed before 10pm and with Emerson now measured as too short for the Velib, I agreed with Max last night that whatever time he wakes up, he can wake me and we'll try to get some bikes and go for a Sunday morning ride around the city.5:30 he woke up and came bounding into our room with no qualms about crushing my Sunday morning sleep :) It took awhile to get going, but we were out the door by 6:30 and off hunting down a station.

Again with the late night we're not out of the apartment much before 11:30. We stroll up to the Arch and discover a massive queue to climb it, forget it. Our plan for the day at this stage is some breakfast then off to d'Orsay. But we discover Laduree doesn't have anything like the queues today as it has had on other days. It's just coming on 1pm we walt straight into a table - boom - Sunday Brunch is ordered a few minutes later and we're set....

A blissful picnic in the shade was only slightly tarnished by the parisian dog poop on my show, Rob told was an essential part of the whole ...

Emerson has been banging on about meeting Evie for weeks, today she was torn finally getting to meet Evie, and going back to Disneyland! We decided against the 2hr queue for Ratatouille we'll hit it on Friday. Instead Max led off choosing Rover the RC Racer for us to ride, fantastic way to break them back into coasters, but Emerson was still petrified.As we were coming to the end of the RC Racers queue Rob & Evie arrived it was hard to tell what the kids were...
