We had a day off and decided to visit the city of Metz, France. We went with our friends the Barons. It was a rainy day but we still had fun traipsing around, exploring the city. We forgot our stroller sun/rain covers, but luckily we had a couple of umbrellas in the car. Got some eclairs from the Patisserie--the maple one was to die for!
They still had their nativity up inside the cathedral. The kids had fun looking at that. It was a really cool one where they went through the entire story of the nativity in progression...
Nathan and Andrew went on the tour of the catacombs underneath the cathedral. We thought it would be a short thing--an hour later they came out to two very exasperated women with a bunch of bratty kids in tow. Our cell phones don't work outside of Germany, so we had to either wait outside the front door in the cold rain, or try and keep everyone quiet inside the cathedral. Not cool.
I was in love with the purple gates on this church!
Ok so they were probably a little bored...
I am seriously coming back to this door for family pictures next year! So cool!
I think Nathan is training our kids to mimic his facial expressions at an early age...

Wow, I've never been to Metz! So cool, that you're living this close to it. I do like the purple gate! And Isla's facial expression!
I bet the boys had fun in those catacombs, but NOT fun for you waiting for them. Yikes!
I love the purple door! I can't imagine trying to keep the kids quiet in the cathedral. Those things echo!!
P.S. I love your boots!
