Hodge Podge

Emi and I went to one of my YW's cross country meets this morning. I had expected her to be in the top 10, but was shocked when she took 1st place! I think she was too! It was super exciting and fun to watch. 

I thought the HS parking lot at the HS where the XC Meet took place was so cute! It looks like they let the students personalize their parking spaces. Such a fun idea!

After the race, Emi and I met up with Summer, Ronny, and Jules P. at the pool. Emi and I just walked to Southridge from our house (such a luxury!) and she had the best time. After being in the pool awhile, Emi decided it was time for the "hot tub." Southridge has a big hot tub that's the temperature of a warm bath...which is nice because it's kid friendly. Anyway, Emi decided to jump in the pool after the hot tub, and was freezzzing so she went back over to the hot tub. After sitting in the hot tub for a few minutes, she decided she wanted to jump in the pool again, so I went into the freezing pool to catch her and then she chickened out. haha. This happened a few times and I finally decided I'd just sit in the hot tub because I knew she wouldn't jump back in. I was right! haha.

Before Marty got home, Emi and I ran to Great Harvest to grab some cinnamon burst bread for french toast in Pagosa and raked the leaves!.

Can you spot what Emi hid in the leaves?

Once Marty was home we finished up with the leaves, ate dinner, and packed for Pagosa. We're meeting up with Missy and Kyle and their girls tomorrow!

After we packed, Marty headed out to watch the Dodgers game with his work softball team before their late night game (and took our Hulu access with him haha). Even though I haven't been able to watch the game, it looks like the Dodgers are creaming the Mets. Woohoo!

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
