vacation

(dictated to dad, because he just typed it all up and the computer ate it. some lessons are hard.)

dear everyone,

today we went out to the champ de mars (it's a park in paris near us) and we biked for an hour and a half! i did like 10 times around a big fountain, like more than 3 kilometers total. calvin did a really good job. he had his training wheels on when we went out, but we took them off and he learned to ride, pedal, turn, get going, stop, get on and get off! he said "this is the greatest thing in the whole world!"

and i kicked a pigeon in the butt.

so that's we did today. now it's off to a late dinner and maybe some of a movie before bedtime.

(from dad: we had a great time with gary & karyn visiting last week from arlington, and this weekend with betsy's cousin shannon and her husband mark visiting. they've already been to germany and amsterdam, and leave here tomorrow for italy via switzerland. tomorrow night we will have a small get-together to celebrate easter, betsy's easter monday holiday, and the two-week school holiday that just started. next saturday we head to the ocean for four days, but we'll talk to you more before then.)
