Sunday… Went for mass in morning and bought pastries back to hotel for breakfast.
Lunch at mac… Ju got his happy meal!
Ju fell asleep at the train station after lunch…
There was a group of buskers performing in one of the metro stations… We like their music so much that we bought a cd from them.
Today we are bringing Ju to a Children Amusement Park called Jardin d’ Acclimatation. The park includes an archery range, house of mirrors, miniature-golf course, narrow-gauge train, pony ride, puppet theater, shooting galleries, miniature road system for children operated by the Paris police, an art museum for children.
This is Les Sablons Metro Station where the park is located…
The side entrance…
Nice entrance tickets…
Upon entering, there was a playground with swings for kids to play freely…
Ju queueing up for flying fox. He was so excited trying it out as it looks very fun and challenging.
Ju shouted “Daddy let go! Daddy don’t hold me!”
Summer flowers again… bees bees everywhere…
Train ride… We did not know we have to buy tickets for the ride and boarded the train happily until the staff asked us for tickets. When we say we did not know that we need to get tickets, he gave us a big smile and gave an “Oh no! But it’s ok!” handsign to us and moved on to the others. Nevertheless, we bought our tickets after the ride and gave it to him.. Pai sei!
Strollers were all parked on the first carriage..
Along the way on the ride, we passed by grass patches where there were lots of families and couples picnic with mats, lying on towels on the grass. Quite many of them in bikinis sun tanning. Don’t think I had ever seen that with Singaporean in bikinis sun tanning in Botanic gardens! haha! Really different cultures!
Ju being the road sweeper, sweeping with a leaf, gathering all tiny leaves and branches together on the road.
Walking through the amusement park.
Ju found a pine tree with mini pine cones on it… touching and counting them…
Lavenders
Not sure are these pears…
Interesting plants!
The mini zoo in the park…
Cute duckies with permed hair…
Ee-ore… Donkey
Found a spider with eggs on a tree
Pigeons again!
Pony rides… There was no age limit for this but Ju did not want to try. He said “The horse will eat me”. So, we stood aside and watch the ponies poo instead.
The weather today is warm like Singapore! Standing in the mist zone is a great cooling idea…
Wet play… Ju wanted to join them so much but we did not bring a towel and it is about less than an hour to closing so we gave it a past. It was good that Ju did not insist even though he wanted to play here so much.
Ju saw people eating this and said ” I want to eat mushmallow ice cream!”. So, we got one for him.
Ended the visit with a few more rounds of flying fox! Ju was very proud of himself that he can go through it without daddy holding on to him, but daddy was running after him to protect him.
After that, we went to the Eiffel Tower which we had been telling Ju about since before flying to Paris, but had not been there for the past 2 weeks.
When we walked up from the train station, this is the view.
Ju practicing and mastering his skill of pushing his storller down the steps as daddy was taking photos.
Entertained himself by sliding down the ramp again and again…
A ride on the carousal at Eiffel tower.
The J Family!
Yum! Popcorns and banana choco crepe!
At the Eiffel Tower, Ju’s first reaction was “Daddy mummy look! There is pigeon on Eiffel Tower!!” So, this is the bird!
The elevator that brings people up and down the tower. Wanted to bring Ju up but the queue was way too long!
A snap of sky beneath Eiffel…
A snap from the centre of underside of tower…
So many perspective of this tower… yes!
A plane flying past “above” the moon
Eiffel day, Eiffel night!
Eiffel souvenir shop… Bought a toy camera for Ju…
We were dead tired after walking around Eiffel as we lost our way trying to find food and train station. We ended up walking back to Eiffel, take a train to our hotel and had our very late dinner at a fast food restaurant.
Double decker RER train…
