I promised to tell you about my trip to Disneyland Paris, here are the children waving goodbye to the white cliffs of Dover.......
When are we getting on the boat? asked Monty when we were about a mile out to sea - he thought it would be small and wooden!
Cuddles in the park.....
and Kiki chose the most stylish mouse ears in the place - I couldn't resist them....
and of course, there were a lot of these photo ops!.....
A couple of little anecdotes, Monty was running around the hotel children's playground, chatting away to some other little boys. He came running up 'Ma, those boys won't talk to me'
They are French Monty, they don't understand you
'Well, I've done the bonjour thing you taught me, and they still won't talk to me! - the universal language of childhood seemed to kick in, as they played happily together until it was time for bed
There was a 65 minute wait to have your photo taken with Mickey, so I opted to stay out in the sunshine while they did this - I've met Mickey a few times, and never find him a great one for conversation. After about five minutes I was bored, so I took it upon myself to act as unofficial photographer for couples - you know the type of thing, boy takes a photo of girl standing in front of a flower bed, swap over, girl takes a photo of boy in front of same flower bed. So I asked if they would like me to take a photo of both of them together. I did this for quite a few people and got quite animated about it. I was complimenting little girls on their princess costumes 'wow, you look JUST like Cinderella, is she your favourite?...and so on. Flushed with my people skills, I made my way back to the bench to sit down and a middle aged woman dressed as Pocahontas (I thought, I'm not an expert on Disney characters these days) sat down beside me. 'Great costume' I enthused
She looked a bit bewildered
'Hindu' she replied
OOPS
So it was a lovely, and very special time to spend a magical few days with two of my beloved grandchildren - scrapbook next I think...
Have a great weekend x
Congratulations to all those lucky winners thank you for the chance too

ReplyDeleteFamily & Life have to "get in the way" from time to time - they are important.
Love the photos and your 'Oops' made me chuckle - sort of thing that I would do.
Have a great weekend (even if the weather isn't supposed to be great).

Hi En, glad to see you recovering from your time at Disney. What a wonderful Gran you are. I seem to be the one who offers to take the tourist's couple pix. At least you entertained yourself. So did the kids love the park and their time with you?

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your photos of Disney Paris with the kids. They are adorable and the stories are fun too.
You brought back memories of my trip to Disneyland California with my three grandchildren years ago. Such fun for all of us. Your kids were the perfect age to take and I'm sure you all had a blast.
ReplyDeleteLovely pics, thanks for sharing their and your story. hugs, Helena
ReplyDeleteEnfys, I loved your story with the Oops ending - just the sort of thing I would do. Thrilled to bits that I'm one of your winners, I love Polkadoodles so I'm looking forward to receiving the CD. Congrats to all the other winners too. Pat x
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lucky winners
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners! How fun to be receiving such wonderful treasures ... I know each one must be delighted.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a grand time at Disneyland Paris. Love the way Monty's mind works as he was looking for his little wooden boat ... and also his disappointment that he could not speak with the other children. How fun that they all find a way to communicate in their own language of 'PLAY'.
