Palm Springs Fun

Sun, Sun and More Sun
650 miles, 11 hours, 507 digital pictures, 3 bottles of sunscreen, 10 sunburns, 1 bottle of aloe vera and great memories = Palm Springs Vacation!

Day 1 - The arrival

This is the view from "our" condo to the pool



This is the back patio of our condo




We arrived to Palm Springs at 8:00am. Stopped by the grocery store and picked up cereal. Got to the condo and before I had even started my cereal, the children had eaten, had their suits on and were swimming. (not even time for me to find the sunscreen - sunburned shoulders)

Noodle Ride



Hold on Dani Rae



Noodle War



Brian joined in on the fun



Ice Cream cones for dessert.
All were sitting in the grass when along came....



TESS!!



She went from sibling to sibling getting a lick from each one.



After ice cream the guys played catch.



Right here, Hudson!




Day 2 - More Sun!


Elizabeth and Dani playing a little golf (little girl style) on the putting green out back



More swim time



Grandma June (Brian's mom) arrives from Arizona



We walked to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner on Paseo Drive. Oh boy, were we a sight! "Are they all yours?" "How many children do you have?" "One, two, three, four..."



An evening swim. This looks more scary than it really was. No heads bonked!



We finished the day off with watching the Utah Jazz beat the Houston Rockets in the first game of the first round of playoffs.

ps Don't begin to think you have seen the last of Palm Springs. Are you kidding? I have 507 pictures and 4 more days to write about.

My sales meeting is there in JULY. Aren't you jealous? It will only be about 105 degrees from what I hear. You had the better time of year.
