Trip to France

Here are some pictures of our trip to France. We went to Frankfurt for Thierry's final Visa interview for him to come to the U.S. and then went to a hotel near Disneyland Paris. The first night we went to the Rainforest Cafe located in the Disney Village next to Disneyland then the next day we went to Disneyland. We had a great time. The boys really loved going on the rides and we had a wonderful lunch at the Blue Lagoon Restaurant located next to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. You could even see people at the beginning of the ride from the restaurant. Xavier especially loved the plate shaped like Mickey Mouse's head.
We were able to visit both Disneyland Park and Disney Studios located next to it. I especially liked the Crush's Coaster ride located in Disney Studios. I went on that with Xavier and we had a great time. Thierry really liked the Peter Pan ride in Disneyland Park. Xavier loved Crush's Coaster as well and Julien loved a show in Disney Studios called Animagique that had Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse along with a bunch of characters from the Disney movies dancing and singing. We had a great time and only wished we could spend another day there. We will have to go to Disneyland in California and spend at least 4 days there.

Our hotel also had a lot of great play areas for the kids. A triple level playing structure, a Pirate ship to play on as well as a great swimming pool with 3 water slides and another pirate ship.

After our wonderful time at Disneyland we went to visit Thierry's family. First we went to his sister Isabelle's, then to his parents, then we visited all of his grandparents, his aunt and uncle and most of his cousins as well as his sister Aline and Pierre and their two daughters Nolwen and Melissa. It was great to finally meet little Melissa. She has beautiful blue eyes with a section of the right eye that is brown just like Julien (he has green eyes with a section of the left eye that is brown). I guess that runs in Thierry's side of the family. It was wonderful to see everyone and we had a great time visiting France. Hopefully we can come back soon.

We will miss all of Thierry's family in France but hopefully we will visit often.
