Last Few Trip Photos

Last few trip photos, then it's time to start blogging about present-time events. We are all gradually overcoming the jet lag phenomenon, some more successfully than others, and at least one of our two pieces of baggage has made it to our home thus far.

These next two pics were taken during our "day at the mall" out in the suburbs of Paris. A deal was struck: Nate would take care of Sophie while Claire & Laure went clothes shopping; in return, Nate got to see a movie--2.5 hours of pure, kid-free bliss in the form of a cheesy but watchable "Australia" movie starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman--while Claire took the kids.

We found some cotton candy--in French called "barbe a papa" (literally: "Dad's beard")--on sale for only one euro, which was impossible to pass up.

Sophie learns to use the force from this Yoda-inspired carousal car at the mall.

This weekend: the forecast calls for MORE SNOW.
