Smooth Criminal IYKYK

Missy and I had a slow morning. Missy said Blaire was up every hour last night (I slept right through it!) so we were all fine sleeping in. 

We ended up grabbing breakfast at "Harvest." It was very PCesque--granola-y. The avocado toast and acai bowl were good, but I have yet to find an Acai bowl as good as the one I tried in NYC. (I am still dreaming of that acai bowl!)

After breakfast, we made our way to a hike in a random place in PC. haha. We had just started hiking along the narrow trail, when we saw a snake slithering just a few feet from us! And it was eating something. It was so gross and scary! 

After we passed the snake we weren't sure what to do. The trail was a 6 mile loop and we definitely weren't going to do the whole hike, so we decided it'd be best to go back where we'd come and run past the snake. I wigged out, and ended up running away from both the snake and our car instead of just passing the snake. Since that plan wasn't working, we called Missy's brother who breeds snakes (why he does that is beyond me.haha), to get some input from him. As Missy was talking to her brother, a group came walking towards us! We ended up just following right behind them and were able to pass the snake. Hallelujah!

This is us pre-snake sighting.

After the hike, we went to pick up Les and got a tour of her parent's new house. It's so cute!

Then we made our way back to PC, stopped at Smith's to get WAY too much junk food, and headed to dinner at the "Loco Lizard Cantina." We realized we should've eaten before going to the grocery store! haha.

After dinner we headed to main street and walked through some shops and grabbed ice cream. We were stuffed.

Then back to the hotel to grab our swimsuits and head to the hot tub. The pool area was so. crowded. We're 99% sure there was a family reunion happening. 

Then back up to our room to watch all our old dance co videos! It was so much fun and made me miss dance!! Both Missy and Lesley danced on college teams and Lesley majored in dance (they're way better than me haha), but dance co was such a fun thing for all of us! It was so nostalgic.

Of course we stayed up late again talking about all the things!

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
