Paris!

In Germany, October 3 is Reunification Day, so Benjamin had that day and the 4th off from school. We decided to take the kids to Disneyland Paris, since they've been working so hard at school and being good sports with the miles of walking every day. They were so surprised to see where we were going, which was really fun! We went into the park when we arrived on Wednesday so we could see the Disney Dreams show, which was fantastic and both boys loved that Peter Pan's shadow was the main character. We also learned that we chose the best possible time to go (we had been thinking we would make the trip at Christmastime) - the weather was great and the park was so empty on Thursday morning when we arrived that we got a photo in front of the castle without a ton of people in it with us!

I love Wall-E!

We stayed at the Hotel Santa Fe, which was Cars-themed. This made Benjamin and Noah quite happy!

In line for Crush's Coaster, such a cool ride!

Sleeping Beauty's castle.

Meeting Daisy in the hotel.

On Saturday we decided to to into Paris to see the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.
The Eiffel Tower was truly breathtaking. It's pretty amazing to see something in person that you have seen in pictures for years! Each of the kids got a mini Eiffel tower keychain, so they were pretty excited about that.

Notre Dame.

This was such a fun weekend, and we can't wait to go see the rest of Paris!
