Yesterday, Sunday, we arrived at our nearby park by bus, after our first trip to the cinema. We had watched "Planes" all in French. Shawn and Annabeth had both had their names drawn to win swag -- Annabeth didn't even notice and Shawn wanted to know why his wasn't a t-shirt like his sister's -- and the kids had enjoyed the visuals, even though they only picked up a few words.
Anyway, when we got off the bus, we saw the parking lot at the park was FULL of cars. There were people everywhere: joggers, bike riders, walkers, kids riding scooters, mommies pushing strollers. There were visible crowds down near the playground section, and the carrousel ride in front of the park was full.
"I think they have a special, new carrousel inside the park," Trevor suggested. We had seen some merry-go-round style equipment being hauled toward the park a few days before, and there was a fancy Dora/Disney-painted trailor set up nearby.
We investigated. Lots of people, crowds everywhere. Rosalies (four-person covered bicycles for rent in the park) going by in all directions. But nothing special going on.
Just a typical family-day Sunday in a typical French city. Que c'est joli!
Open Shawn's blog to see some photos of our park.
We'll be sure to post some pix of our family on the Rosalie once we download them.
