Tulip Festival

Mom, Bubs, and Emi dropped me off to get my hair done. Getting my hair done is one of my favorite things. I don't know how to curl my hair haha so it's one of the rare times it gets curled. (One day I'll learn...). I also love getting fresh highlights and the smell of the hair products. My hair stylist, Abby, is also the nicest and so good at what she does! 

While I was getting my hair done, the rest of the crew went to visit a friend from our ward who is now in a nursing home. What my mom told me was that her friend was so surprised to see her (my mom), she threw her hands up in the air and it scared Emi half to death. She cried for 5 minutes straight and the only thing that could calm her down was some Ritz Crackers. Poor girl! And poor friend!

After getting my hair done, we went out to eat at this yummy grilled cheese place and then grabbed some dessert at the sister restaurant to the grilled cheese place. Afterwards we FaceTime'd Ingi Bear for her second birthday. They were at a farm petting goats. So cute!

To add to our busy day we went to the tulip festival. It was just what we all needed. Relaxing and fun.

 

In the evening, Marty joined Mom and I online in a few games of splendor. Marty won every time. Bummer! haha

We went to the breakfast buffet at the Fairmont in the morning. My favorite part is loading my plate with all the yummy fruit they have. (Papaya and Hawaii just go together.) Emi loves clenching her fists and making a funny, strained face. haha. We took a walk down to the beach before heading to Twin Falls. It was pouring rain when we got out of the car at the start of the hike, and I wondered what the rest of the hike was going to look like, but it ended clearing up at just the right times. I love how Emi has curls in Hawaii. On our way back we stopped at some food trucks and came back to relax before dinner time. For dinner we went to Nick's Fish House. This place is special to Marty and I because it's where we got engaged (and their Macadamia Nut brownies are top notch which adds to the special-ness). In the evening we went back to our hotel room and watched an episode of "The Floor" before heading to bed.

Last day in Paris

We scheduled a tour for St. Chapelle, Conciergerie, and the outside of the Notre Dame for this morning. I mostly just wanted to see St. Chapelle, but because we've been so busy seeing other things, when I went to get tickets on their website they were sold out. Luckily I found a tour through "Get Your Guide" that we could do that would take us through the chapel this morning. Marty and I arrived for our tour this morning and started making our way to St. Chapelle as a tour group when we found out that the employees of St. Chapelle were on strike so nobody would be seeing St. Chapelle for the day. It was a bummer, but strikes are very common in Paris. Really we just lucked out getting to experience an important part of their culture ;) With our tour canceled, we made our way to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. The basilica reminded me a lot of the pretty churches in Jerusalem. The one thing Marty and I found odd was that there were signs all over inside the chapel asking guests

Marty! Lizzie!

Emi and I went to Chuze in the morning and then went to the park after with friends! Ronny, Jules, Evi, Isla, and Emi (of course!). We tried out a new park, Spearwood, and the kids liked it. Emi and I stayed a bit longer after everyone left and she made a new friend. It was this cute Chinese boy whose name sounded kind of like "Ethan." Anyway, his mom was doing the sort of thing all moms do at the park--cheering on their child as they try to climb up a ladder or try something new--but in Chinese. She was doing this, and then the most interesting thing happened. Emi started imitating what the mom was saying. It was so cute! Even though there was a language barrier between the mom and I, she could also tell what Emi was trying to do. It's amazing what the brain can do--especially children's brains. They are like little sponges! Anyway, I just thought that was really cool. On another note... Emi's started calling Marty and I by our first names half of the time. Today
