Facts about the Eiffel Tower :
- the Eiffel Tower lights up at night
- it was built for the 1889 world fair
- it took 2 years to build
- Gustave Eiffel was the designer
- it was built in the 7th arrondissement

I liked going up the top and seeing it lit up.

Wow! You are very brave to make it all the way to the top.
That glass elevator is pretty scary.
Hope you all had a very Happy Easter.
Lots of Love,
Kaz
Hiya Sweatheart ....fantastic to 'see' you in Paris - with yr Mum, Dad and Kian. Loved the statistics on the Eiffel Tower. It must have been really high - even though it was only the 3rd floor.
I hope all that French language learning is letting you get on there and that it is improving with every day.
Enjoy and I'll look forward to following you on the blog. Are you going to get a map on the blog? Penelope (Uncle Mark's wife whom you met on the Gold Coast) does a blog from Papua New Guinea and she has a map that show where she goes - and it is really great.
Love ya

Hi beautiful Kayla, sounds like your having a great time already, it was good to hear your voice on the phone last week singing happy birthday to Pa in French. The Eiffel tower looks amazing all lit up, I have some photos here that we took when we were there. I bet you and Kian weren't scared at all. You can see so far from the top, it's fabulous.
Sounds like your all enjoying the different foods also, and a few Easter eggs as well. Lucky guys.
Pa is also following your blog, so put lots of photos of you and kian on so we can watch you both grow.
Love grandma
Hi Kayla,
When I was little I thought the Eiffel Tower was actually called the Highfull tower (because it was so high) and then when I was a bit older (but not much wiser) I thought it way called the Eye-full tower because it was such an eye full of a tower.
I since have realised I was wrong on both fronts but still think my names are better. Eiffel Tower? What's all that about anyway?
Charlotte misses you a lot (as do we all) and hopes you are getting the 'letters' she's sending you each mealtime xx
Hi Kayla
I miss you!
I saw the Croods, we had popcorn and cake. Everyone wore cool clothes.
The picture of the Eiffel Tower looks nice but with the lights it makes it beautiful. All the information on the Eiffel Tower was really good.

Hi Paul, Kate, Fred, Eric and of course Charlotte!!
Paul you are a little bit silly aren't you?!
Hope you guys had a great time in Phillip Island. I'm missing Charlotte too. I played with another little girl in the park this morning and she screamed when her daddy took her home!
Love Kayla
