Long Travel Day

Emi and I woke up very early this morning to hop on our flight to Pennsylvania. We flew from Denver to Georgia, and then Georgia to Harrisburg. I am seriously blown away every time I fly alone with Emi how kind and willing to help people are! 

Even with all the help...Emi did awful on the flights. It's seriously such a wild card how she'll do. She woke up in the middle of the night last night and could not be consoled. We thought it might be teething, but when she woke up this morning she had a runny nose and it just got progressively worse throughout the day. I think she just wasn't feeling well. At one point she was pulling at her ears--which she usually doesn't do on flights--and so I think it might've been a cold mixed with the change in elevation that had her all out of sorts. Luckily she was able to sleep on our layover, which helped keep me sane and gave me time to decompress.

Happy Emi and Mom pre-flights

I think this picture accurately describes how Emi felt on the flights. Being sick is no fun!

I discovered this cool nursing pod at the Atlanta airport. I still prefer the nursing rooms but this was cute and nice too!

Sleeping Emi

But...we made it! No matter how rough a flight is I still think it's worth it to get to see people (especially family!) and do cool things. We're super excited to be here. Baby Huck is absolutely adorable and sooo cuddly and Ingi's vocabulary has just exploded. I always love getting to see family.

In this picture it looks like Emi is lovingly looking at her cousin...but the reality is that she just wanted his binky haha

Huck and Aunt Bubs

Look at his cute squishy face! I think he and Ingi look very similar.

Steph and baby Huck. He's such a cuddle bug.

Missus and the kiddos. Ingi calls Erika Missus and it is the funniest thing ever.

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
