Paris Day 2 - short and sweet

We decided to celebrate Rosa's birthday in Paris.  Yes, she's so spoiled and no, it wasn't actually her exact birthday but close enough!  The photos are few but they tell a great story.  The night before day 2 started Rosa said she wanted to stay in the apartment and not go out at all!  The Journalist convinced her to listen to a plan and then decide.  The below photos detail her reaction.   You must know that we enjoy "chasers" - gifts that require you to think, go find and then understand.  Rosa's gift was a great chaser.

A simple box of candy hearts?!
Rosa was not enthused about this at all!
If you notice, Minnie Mouse was on the box.
Here we asked Rosa where Minnie Mouse lives.
She responded Disneyland and then...
Aha!! Disneyland is in Paris too!
We're planning to go to Disney Paris!!
Rosa really enjoyed the rides.  Here she enjoys "It's a Small World."
We were lucky enough to have our good friends
to guide us throughout the day.   The fireworks
ended a super fun day. 
Cake and a French Happy Birthday song at a
restaurant near Disney was great.  The cake was tasty
(ice cream insides with a cake-ish layer on the outside).
With an hour-long train ride back to the apartment,
Rosa concluded a super fun, super long birthday.
