Sunny Palm Springs!

Well, we got back late Tuesday night from our sunny trip to Palm Springs to visit Carter's parents and what were we greeted with the next day, you guessed it, snow!! Ah well, it was a little easier to handle since we had some fun in the sun :)

We had a great time hanging out with Richard and Kathy and basically just relaxing and taking the kids to the pool. Aidan was so sad to leave that he whined and cried for about an hour before we headed to the airport about how he wanted to stay! Already looking forward to next year :)


We hit the pool as soon as we arrived!


Carter and Richard

Aidan and Clara loved the pool noodles and their water wings

But loved the hot tub the best!

So cute!!!

We didnt make it to Disneyland this year but Clara had fun on the rides at the outlet mall instead!

We took the kids to the Children's museum of the Desert which is basically a smaller version of Science World, Aidan found what we believe were grapefruits growing outside the front doors.

They had an old VW bug inside which the kids could paint, Clara had fun :)

Nice art work Clara!

Carter had to check out the police motorcycle of course :)

The museum had a great mini grocery store for the kids, they had a great time.

And they loved the pizza parlour as well. Remember Aidan, no olives for Mom!

Feeding the ducks with Kathy which is right in front of their place

We took the tram up the mountain on our last day, it was very impressive and scary, it took about 15 minutes to get to the top.

The view of Palm Springs from the top. It was a little chilly up there, about 14 degrees with snow while it was a hot 28 degrees at the bottom.
