Le joie dans les jardins

The summer of 2009, I spent 3 weeks in Paris with my daughter Melissa and grandchildren Eva and Davis. We were thrilled when we learned that our Birmingham friends the Wilsons, would be there as well. They had an apartment overlooking the gardens at the Palais Royal, so we joined them late one summer afternoon. The grownups had wine while the children dug in the white powdery "Paris dirt",  played Follow the Leader around the Pol Bury Fountains and ran up and down the arcade.  Ethan found the roses in bloom and had a fine time throwing petals in reckless abandon. La vie est belle!
