The kids were such good tourists all week and we thought they deserved a little surprise on our last day. What better surprise than Disney?! Friday morning we took the train to Disneyland Paris! It was such an easy trip out there…

and we were happy to see this sign upon arrival!

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by these two…

Perfect! Of course we loved seeing the park all decorated for Christmas!

We then spent the day riding rides at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. It was most of our favorites – some with a twist – and a few new ones.

Someone only wanted to sit next to Momma on ALL the rides.

But she survived even when she didn’t!

Spencey found a creative way to store his poncho!

It was a fun day all around and a great way to end the trip! We made it back to Paris in time for dinner…and ended up in a tourist trap of a cafe but that’s ok. We still made it fun…and had more new experiences. ha!

On Saturday morning we got up early and headed to the airport. We had no issues with our flight at all and breezed through customs in Atlanta thanks to our Global Entry. Thank goodness because we had to get home for Christmas day!

It was truly a magical trip and it could not have gone any better. Again, I am so proud of the kids and what good tourists they were. I’m ready to take them all over Europe! Where are we going next?!

We got up Thursday and met up with Isabelle to tour the Louvre! Our travel planner had also set up a scavenger hunt with another company which…was not good. We gave it a good try but the kids just weren’t interested in racing through the Louvre to try and find specific paintings or take silly pictures. We much preferred to wander with Isabelle’s guidance and have her tell us all sorts of interesting facts and information about various pieces. She was a treasure trove of knowledge – she studied at the Sorbonne and 4 years at the Louvre after all!

One of the few stupid scavenger hunt pics we had to take…I was a good sport!

This is kinda how we all felt about the scavenger hunt! ha!

We did have just enough fun checking out all of the cool art!

Of course Maxwell took all kinds of great photos!

A favorite painting of all of ours – two sided!

We finally made our way to the Mona Lisa…with everyone else.

But when you’re little and determined you can get up to the front!

After that much culture, the kids needed to take the sophistication down a notch so opted for some McDonalds for lunch! They deserved it!

More to come tomorrow!
