The Leon's in Paris! Day 4

On our last day in Paris, I wanted to see the passageways with different shops to look around in, but when we got there around 11 a.m. on Sunday, we discovered they aren't open until 2 p.m.!  I was disappointed, but when we were walking towards the train station, we accidentally discovered a Sunday farmer's market where we found some delicious food for lunch!  The kids and I had roasted chicken wings and potatoes, and Manuel got Indian food.  After that, we went to the Jardin du Luxembourg (Luxembourg Gardens) where we enjoyed some of the best hot chocolate we've ever had in the park, rented a toy sailboat to sail around the pond, and finally a French marionette puppet show before heading back to our apartment to pack up and make our way back to the airport.  There were a few things overall that we didn't get to do, but it was a great trip and I'd love to go back to Paris again (minus the rental car being towed of course)!

Playing around in the morning before the day's adventures.


In case you didn't know... he's kind of a big deal.

Lina being goofy while dada studies the subway map.

This was the stop near our apartment.

Neat little skateboard area.

Farmer's market.  Manuel's standing in line getting us some roasted chicken for lunch, yum!

Just around the corner from the farmer's market, there was this weird statue that Lina had fun climbing on.


Jardin du Luxembourg... love the fall colors and leaves everywhere.

Enjoying some laughs after drinking some delicious hot chocolate!


We rented a toy sailboat and Lina had a blast chasing that thing around the huge pond.



She got quite a bit of exercise running around this pond for thirty minutes... the wind would blow the sailboat one direction, and just as she ran all the way around the pond to meet the sailboat, the wind blew it a different way!  She had so much fun.

Watching very seriously where the sailboat was heading.







I enjoyed watching Lina with the sailboat and sitting back with my littlest dude.


All of my little loves.

Finally (and with perfect timing, as it started to rain outside!) we took the kids to a cute little theater at the Luxembourg Gardens where they enjoyed a 45-minute French marionette puppet show.  Lina was enthralled in the show, and Isandro had fun clapping for the puppets when all the other kids clapped.
