California Sun

We had a great week in Palm Desert, CA after Christmas. We left the day after Christmas to drive to St. George for the night and then continued on. We were amazed at how well the kids did on all of the drives. Of course there were crazy moments but overall it all went well. Those are the moments I'm grateful that I'm such a "mean mom" and don't let my kids watch movies very often- cuz in the car they are completely memorized and we get our fill for awhile. The week unfortunately had record low temperatures, but we still had lots of fun together. We bundled up to walk to the pool and then quickly jumped in to keep from freezing. Then we would go back and forth between the pool and hot tub to warm up- but the sun was out and it was so pretty and relaxing. I love relaxing, swimming vacations and am glad my kids seem to like them too. Lyla spent hours in the pool every day and didn't mind the cold at all. She would play and swim and didn't even want to eat (unusual for her) until the last person was leaving the pool area so she had to get out. One dream of mine is to have a pool in our backyard someday...



We loved spending a day in Redlands and even managed to go to the temple there.





 





Kaylie LOVES these floaties. She insisted on wearing it around for hours every time she saw it.
