Mom's here!

Emi and I have been frequenting library story time recently. She loves it and it's so cute! The theme for the library's summer reading program is "Flock to the Library." They put up signs with a bunch of cute signs/etc outside the library that fit in with the theme, and it makes Emi's day every time we go. Her favorite are the ones with "mingos" (flamingos) on them. She also loves waddling like a penguin every time she sees the penguin sign. 

After story time, Emi and I took a stop at the mall to do a return. With a little prompting from Marty, I have decided it's time to re-vamp my closet haha. After my return, I looked around the mall and found 1 store (I'm not kidding) with blouses that worked with garments. It was a little bit pricey, but had several cute tops (Evereve). I kept thinking of my poor YW who are trying to find cute clothes that are less revealing, and the options are so limited. In Utah there's so many options--Bohme, Roolee, Called to Surf, Piper and Scoot, etc. I think I may have to do a little bit of shopping next time I'm out there!

After the mall we met Maddie and Maricela from our old apartment complex at the park. Emi loved going down the slide over and over and was totally worn out when we got home.

The things you do for your child. I squeezed up this tunnel with Emi. haha. Poor girl's foot fell through the hole as she was climbing up because she's so little.

I put her down for a nap after giving her a little lunch and she could've slept the whole afternoon away, but I woke her up to go pick up my mom from the airport. She's being so nice to come out this weekend to hang out and also watch Emi while I go to a wedding on Saturday! (I got invited to one of my friend's weddings after Marty and already planned a guys trip that same weekend, so hence why I needed a bit of help. Thanks mom!)

We went straight from the airport to meet Marty at Torchy's. Because it's mandatory anytime anyone comes here. And we stopped at Crumbl on the way home from Torchy's.

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
