Fun in the sun

We were absolutely spoiled out in California this year. Every day we woke up to beautiful blue skies and the temp rising to over 90 degrees. I guess I'll start at the beginning of our trip w/ a few highlights and fun moments.

Hannah and Ellie did really well on the flight out to Palm Springs. Hannah thought it was a real treat watching Cinderella with Taylor on the plane. Taylor is obviously a little more into the movie than Hannah. :O)



As we were landing in PS, Hannah exclaimed, "We're in Palm Trees!" It was too cute not to chuckle a little and kindly correct her. She later changed our destination to, "Palm Strings" which was equally as cute. By the end of the 2 weeks, she had it down...Palm Springs, California!

The kids could not get enough of the pool. They probably would have been in it from sun up til' sun down if we would have let them. We would have had to bribe them to get out, except for the fact that they were always working up an appetite, so they would take a "snack, lunch, snack" break throughout the day. Ellie enjoyed the water a few times, but really loved watching her sister and cousins.









The time change was a bit of a challenge when we arrived, but we knew what to expect...the kids were all asleep by 6pm (pacific) the first night and up by 5 the next morning (yikes!). That too got better each day. They were always exhausted by the end of the day, but we were able to keep them up until 8 and they learned to sleep in until 7 or so.

Hannah just couldn't stay awake...she fell asleep after swimming one afternoon.


Okay, that's all for now...I'll add more pictures soon.
