Milan Day 2 - Duomo and Carnival

We began day 2 in Milan back here...
We toured a bit more inside, and then headed up to the roof. They allow you to walk all over the roof! The kids loved this, of course. I was hoping they would not be the first to fall off, and we managed to make it through with everyone in one piece.

It was amazing to see the intricacies that were built into every inch of this place.

The kids just wanted to run up and down each section. Lots of fun!

Here we are on the very top.

Chelsea is wanting to run/slide down each side and I have a death grip on Cade's hand to keep him from running and tumbling down. I am ready to be done with the roof!!!

After we exploring the roof, we headed across the square to the famous Galleria of Milan. We grabbed lunch across from Prada at none other than McDonald's. Gotta keep the kids happy!We took our leftover french fries outside to feed the pigeons. They liked french fries!Chelsea demonstrating the art of pigeon feeding to Cade.

Cade preferred to eat the french fries and watch the pigeons.

We happened to be in Milan for the last day of Carnival. Everywhere we went, kids were dressed up in costumes. Chelsea saw a face painting place, but the lines were super long. Her rock start dad took the face painting upon himself.... I supplied some eye liner, lipstick and mascara.
He created a butterfly....
The square was packed with people, confetti, and silly string. We spent 1 euro for a bag of confetti and Chelsea was quite entertained while we waited for the parade to start.

We enjoyed the parade for awhile before paying a quick visit to the opera house (no pictures allowed, but it was beautiful!) and grabbing dinner. Finally, we headed back to the hotel...it was a full day!!
