Highlights with Grandma and Grandpa Rosen

We had a great week with my parents here. Thanks for making a stop here, Mom and Dad! Here are some highlights of our week with them.

-Ate lots of good food. We went to Torchy's, Snooze, Chik fil A, and Wild Ginger.

-Made lots of good food. Mom and I made 13 (!!) pies. 8 of them were Chicken Pot Pies and the rest were just the shells--so I can add whatever fillings I want to them. Mom also whipped out a few loaves of bread (Dad and I tried to learn how to make bread too) and she made homemade noodles for our soup one day. And of course she made brownie sundaes. I've missed my mom's cooking. She's so good! 

-Went to My Gym a few times. My dad retrieved the balls Emi liked throwing out of the ball pit. haha.


-Hiked/walked up Waterton Canyon with my parents and Emi.

-Got to see pictures of my parents' trips and hear some exciting stories.

-Played lots of Splendor and Rook.

-Watched The Fugitive and the new Mission Impossible. Both were good!

-Went to the Children's Museum downtown.



-Went to "Blossoms of Light" at the Denver Botanical Gardens. We all liked it, and I think it's now added to our list of holiday must-do's here.


"Without plants you couldn't have chocolate cake." My type of sign! haha.

-Grandma and Grandpa took Emi on lots of walks.

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.

Many Oopses

This morning Emi and I headed to Home Depot to get our fridge ordered. Marty and I really had 2 fridges we liked, and so I tried calling my mom because she's the cooking queen and would be able to help me make a decision...but she didn't answer. Darn it different time zones! So I made the decision. I hope we like it! Then we stopped at the car shop on the way home. Yesterday my car started just being super bumpy on the freeway and something seemed wrong. When we showed up at the shop, there were all these husky guys that you might imagine at a car shop, but when they saw Emi they became these big marshmallows. They were all telling me about their kids and it was so cute.  Turns out there is something wrong with my car, and so I have an appointment to get it fixed on Friday. Between both mine and Marty's cars...it seems like something is always needing a repair! After our morning errands, Emi was worn out and took the best nap she's taken in awhile. I also rested, and wh

Last day in Paris

Image
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
