MY FEET ARE DYING!

Today we walked 5 miles! The first place we stopped at was a park that had a huge air balloon. As we went up I saw the fountains, the Eiffel Tower and the Labyrinth. After that, we went to the fountain that we saw. We didn't bring any swim suits so we just had to get our clothes wet. The Labyrinth was funny, because when we were there I didn't think it was a labyrinth, it was just so easy! When we left the park there were some big firecrackers that scared us all. I had this idea that we could buy a little Eiffel Tower souvenir and a Gooby Guy (a squishy ball with eyes and hair!) and put on a show for Mom "Gooby Guy Attacks Eiffel Tower". So we decided to walk to the Eiffel Tower and buy a miniature tower. But we didn't see any Gooby Guys! Mom said since the line was so short we should just go on up into the Eiffel Tower anyway. I thought I was going to die of boredom before we even got to the gate, but guess what! We got in and got to go up to the very top of the Eiffel Tower!!!!!!!! We skipped the first floor, but when we got to the second floor it was so high up that I really wanted to go all the way up to the top. But we HAD to stop and get a snack first. Mom didn't get anything, but I got cracker sticks with Nutella dip, and Elliott had chicken flavored potato chips (Yummy!). Later we got to the very, very top. When we got there there were, of course, windows that we could all look out on and see all the pretty town of Paris. Yay! The first thing I saw was just tops of buildings and little bitty people and cars and motorcycles. Then we went to the other side and I saw the balloon we went up on, and it looked so tiny! As we were about to go Mom said she wanted to hug me at the top of the Eiffel Tower before we went back down in that ginormic elevator. As we were about to leave I said "Let's go to the bathroom" and they have one up there! It was tiny so we all had to squeeze in and there are only 2 stalls. It was getting very late so we left. After we got outside, we still couldn't find any Gooby Guys so we just gave up and walked back toward home. The walk home was SO LONG, when we got in the apartment I had to walk on my hands because my feet were dead. Mom cooked a nice healthy dinner for us and now I am going to bed.
