The European Fair or "Foire Européenne"

http://www.foireurop.com/index.php

This is where we were this weekend.

I decided to park and take the tram in. I wasn't alone. It was full. I tried anyway. It was completely barred...then someone ran out and called "four cars only!" Well, we lucked out.

We went back to Sécurité Routière (French highway patrol) where my kids got a bunch more stuff and participated in the drawing by answering some questions. They also tried out this sound booth;

I ended up getting them some chocolate and each a tiny glass animal from the Russian stand. I couldn't talk them into any of the Peruvian sweaters.

There were cows;

and sheep;

and strange pigeons with curly wings;

and feathery feet;

and fluffy ones;

and even stranger ones with what Ronnie described as "brains on their beaks"

Talia decided that the white one was "cute anyway" even though it had brains on its beak;

and chicks, that Davina was glued to for ages;

But the bunny petting was the highlight. This one was huge, about three times the size of a normal rabbit;

Of course Davina had to pet every single bunny before leaving;

Then we went for ice cream and visited the seeing eye dog (her name was Vodka) and made our way home.
