Le Jardin D'Acclimatation

This is three days ago, but we have been very busy! So, three days ago, on Sunday, we went to the Jardin D'acclimatation. It was a very lovely day! The garden has low key rides, a great splash pad, good food, a petting zoo, peacocks to chase around the park, a hall of mirrors, a corner with musical instruments, a herb garden, I could go on and on. This place is amazing.


Our favorite ride was a roller coaster called the Butterflies. You sit in a car for two, and it spins as it goes around the track. It's low key, but very exciting! We rode 6 times. Gwen also got to try those flying swings for the first time, she loved them.

Then it was a nice garden lunch, there was a birthday party for a 7 year old, and all the little girls wore white dresses. Gwen joined them in chasing the peacocks around the fountain and paths.

Then it was to the Splash pad, it's a clever one, with rainbows and flowers that spurt water. Then to the playground, where there was another very innovative climbing structure. Paris has lots of very clever kids play areas. This was a very good one.


Then she made friends with a pony and went for a ride.


Musical instruments to play and gardens to wander completed the day. Before we knew it, it was 8pm.


So, one last turn on the merry go round, and away we went! The Merry go rounds in Paris are also clever, they have horses, of course, but also little sections you can spin at will, like the teacups, but on a Carousel. Gwen loves them!


And I would like to welcome AMELIA to the world, she was born on Sunday! We can't wait to meet you! Congratulations to all the Bulman's and a special hello to Christin... Good Job Mommy, can't wait to meet the new addition and give you a big hug!
