Paris for Halloween

We planned to be in Paris on the 31st so we could enjoy our grand children here. Lizzy, Parker and Austin are fun kids. So we spent the day with them in their flat on Varsailles. Breakfast was crepes and syrup, orange juice and good fun with the kids. Parker and Austin had been suffering from the flu but they got better each hour.

Side walk outings took us to the bakery for bagets, to the market for some fruit and vegetables and some cheese. Everything was great especially the fromage (cheese). It was so good when combined with fresh bread. Extra sharp cheddar was the purchase but the specialty cheeses were certainly available as well. Most of the cheese is made from milk that is not pasteurized and is excellent. We've yet to try it.

 The afternoon included making graham cracker houses with the little kids, preparing lunch then driving downtown to see the sights.  Behind us on a cloudy day is a famous landmark we all recognize.  Mostly spending time with our family becomes our wish.


Shopping at the local outdoor market which offered everything from fruits and vegetables to cheese, meats, fish and nuts.  It is all farm fresh and delicious.

Nothing pleases a grandmother more than seeing her family. 


We all got into the project of house building.  The flu had taken down Parker and Austin earlier but now its on the run and they are up and playing. 

Here is the project finished and drying.  We were kids again and the real kids dressed in their costumes for the evening a little early for pictures.  Later they came to our hotel so they could trick or treat a little.  Doing that isn't a thing in France.  Can't stop a good thing !!
