Krishna's 4th birthday was not too eventful. His birthday fell on a Monday so on the Saturday before we took him and his cousins to an indoor adventure center. Then we went to his cousins for cake. On Monday we had a little celebration at home where he got his gifts. We decorated the house with happy birthday banners and got him a little fort tent that we filled with balloons. He really enjoyed his day.

Check out these mummies from Le Lourve. I couldn't believe how well preserved they were. The egyptions mummified many many things including birds, crocodiles, dogs, cows heads and lots of cats. There were mummy casings of wood and marble and lots and lots of them. The third photo just shows some of them. The detail that went into the casings are amazing. They have artwork inside and out of these things.


This bottom photo is of the Eiffel tower all lite up at night. It twinkles with thousands of little lights during a certain time then it all goes black. I think this was taken about 11pm. Sorry for it being so blurry.

Paris. This was the best trip. It was quick, but we got to see a lot. We walked our feet off and I was so tired after the two days. Many things in Paris have gold. Gold gates, gold doors, gold statues, gold bridges, gold fountains. Though the Eiffel tower wasn't made of gold I was surprised at how big it actually was and how many people were there as tourists. Paris is the worlds most visited city. The sphinx is some of the pics of Le Lourve.

Here are some pictures of France (Paris). Most of these photos are from Le Lourve. The world famous museum. It is housed in the Kings Palace of Paris and is full of amazing things. The movie The Di Vinci Code was filmed here. You will notice the pyramid of which you see in the movie. Yes, we saw the Mona Lisa. She is behind glass and nobody can get too close to her. What made her famous was the fact that she was stollen from this museum in the 70's and had gone missing for 2-3 years. She was finally recovered and has since been in this spot.
As you can see, most of the statues are huge!! They are mostly from Rome. The fourth picture down was taken at Le Lourve and was part of Napoleons apartments. I had not known there were several Napoleons in Frances history.
