Paris part 1

We went to Paris!  David had a 2 day meeting during the kids spring break, so we all packed up and went to Paris!  Getting ready to board the plane.

 And we got fly first class!  That was fun.  Sophie in her own little cubby with her the toiletry bag they give you.

 And is this heaven or what??  Video games on the plane?   Made for Noah!

 Still light out, but getting ready to sleep!

 We made it!  Everyone's tired, but super excited.

 First day on the streets of Paris.

 Took at walk down from our hotel.  This is the end of the Champs Elysee.  Guess who's going up in the ferris wheel??

Can you Sophie in her pick coat.

Kathy and Sophie are way at the top!

Out for a stroll along the Seine

 JACKPOT.  After a couple nights of eating Parisienne food, we found Burger King!!

Tuesday morning....The Eiffel Tower.  Look, Noah is holding it up!

 And Sophie's holding it up!

 We were there early, and hardly any crowds.

 Some Karate under the Eiffel Tower.

 This was only the first level!

 We made it!

 And stopped inside for a snack.

 So on the top were places were the floor was glass and you could look straight down.  David was so scared, he couldn't walk out on it.  Noah was standing on the glass doing some Karate moves.

Dad's favorite picture from the trip

Lying on the glass at the top of the Eiffel tower looking down.  Oh my.  Puts my stomach in knots just looking at the photo.

More fun, end of winter, spring is here.

Spring was cold this year.  David got to see Sophie's after school club show.

And a late snow let us have some late winter fun with the toboggan and sleds and snow.

Noah was the Assistant Director for his class show this year!

And....drum roll please..........Free ice cream for the day Dairy Queen opened!!!!  We were there in line!

So happy spring is coming!

March 2017, Nanny's Bday and more

Breakfast at the Conshohocken Marriott.  Our electricity went out and we had to go to a hotel for the night.

Then we made our way to Avon to celebrate Nanny's birthday.

Someone here is getting squished, and it's not Ben!

Happy Birthday Nanny.

Back at home, it was time for the show!

And purim.  Mom made hamantaschen filled with chocolate and fluff and jelly with Noah and Sophie.

Winter and trip to Puerto Rico

Lots to do to keep away the winter blues.  Like a trip to Sky Zone for some indoor jumping and climbing.

Sophie had a fever for days!  So we took her to the doctor.  She was fine.  And cute!

What better for Valentine's day than a HUGE KISS (Hershey).  Noah got one for Sophie, and ironically Sophie got one for Noah.

But maybe the most fun was a quick long weekend to Puerto Rico.  We heard Marci and Jimmy and The Borges were going.  We thought we'd tag along.   Early morning flight.

Sophie showing us how we got to San Juan.  We flew of course!

Noah getting our luggage.

Hey look who we found at breakfast.  Sam and Ben!

A fun way to get around the water!

Hanging out at the beach, having a drink.

We took the ferry back and forth to the beach.  Check out the photo bomber.

Who are these hot babes?

Girls at the bar.

Just having fun in the lobby of El Conquistador. 

Hibachi.  Noah thought it was "mind blowing"!

Hanging out playing pool with some boys Sam met.

And of course some ice cream

For everyone!

Sophie with the boat pilot

 Nothing better than a Strawberry Daiquiri at the beach.

Who is this grown up kid???

We took this same picture probably at this same table when we were in Puerto  Rico probably 7 years ago when Noah was ~3 yrs old playing Bom Bom Butz.  I made him take this picture with me.

 We had a quick couple days but had a ball.  Now it's time to go home.

  Killing a little time in the airport!

See you next time!
