Cake and Deep Clean

Emi and I went to story time in the morning. I was surprised how bashful she was at story time because she's not usually that way at My Gym, but I guess she's so used to My Gym now she's able to get out of her shell more. Going to story time reminded me of how cute it is and how I want to go more often. 

Matching with my baby girl.

She loves doing this. haha

In the afternoon Emi and I had a cake delivery. In our old ward they had a fundraiser auction, and so I auctioned off a coupon to cash in for a personalized cake. A grandma in the ward ended up buying it and she reached out to me to make a cake for her granddaughter's birthday. I had a lot of fun making the cake and when I went to deliver it she asked me to come in and chat for awhile. She's so sweet and by the time I left we had agreed that we'd have to meet again. 

Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberries on top.

The transportation.

In the evening Marty and I deep cleaned the kitchen and living room. I've been wanting to mop the floors for awhile now but we've had so much work being done, that I've been hesitant to clean it only to have it covered in dust the next day. We ended up spending way more time cleaning than we thought we would but it feels nice to be in a clean house. 

We moved the table and cleaned the rug in our deep clean process.

The vacuum also got a deep clean.

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
