PALM DESERT

They water the golf course about 10 times a day so the girls all thought it was a good idea to run through the sprinklers. I'm not sure if they were suppose to but they had fun none the less!

Knotts Soak City
The 8 story slide that all the little girls decided to try! After the first time down we couldn't keep them off it.



The weather wasn't the only thing that was hot that day!

Kacey/Tyler went head to head with Gary/Mike for the big water balloon toss, but in the end Gary and Mike were crowned the Champs and won a 2 hour bike rental. Going for a bike ride is just what you would want to do in 112 degree weather! Congratulations, guys!
Breakfast in Aunt Lis' room. She always has the best "stuff"
Brook and Kate were buds all week. Kate says some pretty funny things but my favorite was when she was waiting in line to ride the Gondola, she complimented a little boy on his pirate shoes and then asked him if he liked her stripper shoes. I don't know where she gets this stuff!

My family all went to Palm Desert for the week and it was a much needed break from real life! This is the first vacation that I wasn't a complete stress case about my kids. They are old enough to run around with the other kids and it was really relaxing for me. The hotel was way cool. They had a lot of activities but one of the kids' favorite was the "Dive In" movie in the pool. We went to Soak City and my kids loved it. Ally is tall enough to ride the big slides and she did! The first one we took her down was the Pacific Spin. She wasn't too sure at first but after that she was all over the place. It was fun to be with my family. We have so much fun together and I love that we can get together and just have a good time.
