Bubbles and Miss Rachel

Ever since we got Emi her outside Little Tykes car, she has been found walking around the house saying "car" at all times of day. She'll also grab her shoes and bring them to you to let you know she's ready to go outside and play in her car.

This morning was no different. Even though it was raining, I caved and we went and played with her car. She was laughing her head off pushing it down our driveway. She was making me laugh! Because our driveway is angled downward, even though she's "pushing" the car, it's really pulling her too which she thinks is soo fun. 

After we got done playing with her car, we headed to library story time. It was there that I realized Emi had sat in her wet, rainy car and her bum was soaked...sorry, Emi! At story time, Emi went to the front and center (she is a social bug!) and repeatedly said "bubbles" to the lady leading the story time.haha. Finally, the lady said "We'll do bubbles later" but Emi's persistence cracked me up. At the end of story time, Emi got to play with the bubbles and she was very happy. 

We left story time and stopped quickly at home to grab Emi new pants before going to the gym. When I came to pick her up after my workout class she was crying, and couldn't settle down. We went home, and I tried feeding her lunch, but she was hysterical...so out of character for her! 

She also woke up mid-nap and was just sad, weepy, and screamy for a large portion of the day. Marty and I are pretty sure it's teething--we looked and she has 3 teeth coming in right now. Poor girl!

The one point in the day where she was actually okay was when I turned on Miss Rachel (thanks Katye for reminding me about her videos). I literally timed how long Emi was entertained by one of her videos...50 minutes. Can you believe that?! It seriously baffles me that she'll just sit and watch, mesmerized. I'm glad that she was entertained, though, because we both needed a break!

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
