Paris 8th May

Yesterday, I had a quick trip to Paris. It was a great day eating, shopping, walking and chatting with friends.
Sitting by the Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely fountain called 'Stravinsky Fountain', next to the Pompidou, was just fab.

Lascaux Paintings by the boys, 3rd of May.

On our holiday, I picked up some Lascaux inspired art supplies.
Both boys had fun finger painting with the ochers.
Here are the final results.

Le Hourdel, 1st of May.

We visited this last place, to see some seals.
The boys tried to see some, but the walk to see them was four hours long and you need gum boots.
If you look real close, there are some seals in the middle distance...

Maison de l'oiseau (House of Birds), 1st of May.

We visited a Bird Museum and Sanctuary. I've never seen so many rooms of taxidermy.
Hummingbirds.
The live birds were outside.
These two parent geese were looking after their five kids. They were on guard all of the time, and while swimming, one parent was at the front and the other was at the back. All of the five babies were all kept in a row.
Some lovely bird sculptures.

Cayeux-Sur-Mer, 1st of May.

A windy, rocky, picnic lunch at this beach.
Not quiet a sand angel.

Berck-Sur-Mer 30th of April.

It was a great sunny day, but windy. As are all of the beaches, on the North Coast.
We had a great lunch.
After lunch, I went shopping while the boys played.
When we met later both boys were wet and sandy.
