Emi's Besties, Picnic, and Family Olympics

Emi has found her new besties! Jane and Reese. They are both going into 1st grade in the fall and they adore Emi. Reese spent the day following Emi and I around and helping with anything and everything baby related. She is such a natural caretaker and so cute. Today was a more chill day at camp and we spent a lot of time socializing with people in the family. 

Everyone in the Adair family is so kind and personable that it's been so fun getting to know everyone better. I forgot to mention that last night we had a whole conversation with several members of the family about how to help us with our house troubles. So nice of them!

The Adair family...check out how cool everyone's shirts are. I've never seen family reunion garb that looks this good!

Emi loved her backpack and so did I!

Emi and Dillon. While the older boys/men went golfing we all went for a picnic!

In the afternoon we (Marty, Emi, Resse, and I) took the Bronco up the road to Sally's Overlook. It got pretty bumpy and we were all having a good time except Emi...so we eventually decided to turn around! I love the Bronco because you get the outdoorsy experience without getting covered in dirt and it feels more safe! I just get so nervous on 4-wheelers because my parents always talked about how dangerous they were growing up. (Can you tell my dad was a doctor? haha.)

The crew.

Dan cleaned the Bronco yesterday...Ooops😬

In the evening we did the family Olympics. It was so much fun and I always love having some competition! Marty had to watch because his ankle is messed up from rock climbing a few weeks ago...such a bummer.

Emi adores great grandma Diane

I think this picture is so cute!

Family Olympics!

Nick's Fish House

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
