Paris - all eaten up by some American boys and one pink princess

How hungry for Paris can you get?
 These two little monkeys walked along the Seine, passed the Eiffel tower, strolled under the Arc De Triomphe all the while talking about power rangers, race cars and who knows what else. Sightseeing? Eh, who needs it when you have a good American friend to talk to. Keo couldn't have been happier - finally, someone who could share a good American sentence with him...And Zane? Just happy to walk the streets again with his buddy (maybe not Dehart Street...but close).
Not 15 minutes into our first visit out in Paris and we lose Keo and Zane. We crossed the street all together, grabbed our cameras and started snapping away shots of the this and that all the while thinking someone else was keeping an eye on the boys. Next thing I hear in the middle of crowd is "Where is Zane? Where is Keo!!!" I see Noels face in the middle of the crowd turn white, we all dropped our cameras, realizing we were on a street corner opposite Notre Dame we had no clue what direction they had walked off in. It was utter panic. Taxis everywhere, strangers everywhere, where were the boys...JM took off in one direction, I took off in another, bumping into people left and right yelling their names. After a few good minutes and a good strong pumping of my heart I see arms waving in the distance - JM has Keo and Zane. They had taken off and didn't stop when we had stopped...JM found them at an intersection holding hands. That was NOT fun. From that moment we were glued to them at the hip. Very scary moment. 
and then..Pretty in Paris...
and then..Pouting in Paris

Isn't that how it is. Paris is filled with emotions. We had an excellent weekend filled with joy and happy moments. So happy to have seen familiar faces. Another turning point in our time here.
