VACATION!

California, here we come!

Our vacation to California was a lot of fun. We had a great time at Gale's! It was fun to see some old friends - Gale, Korie, and Amy. (Of course that also includes James, Brock, and Jesse.) We would have gotten to see more of them if we wouldn't have hit traffic just outside of Las Vegas. Yes, I said traffic!!! Out in the middle of nowhere!! It set us back a couple of hours and I was a little testy by the time we got there. Despite the long drive, Chloie and Cassidy were in heaven playing dress-up with Morgan, Elizabeth, Anna, and Kate. We could have ended the vacation there and they would have been happy.

Kate just needed a little pick-me-up that morning!

Branson was the only boy around. He didn't want to join the dress up party, but he had no trouble riding around on the pink car.

We then went to a resort in Indio where we: ate breakfast, went swimming, ate lunch, played ping-pong, went swimming, ate dinner, played tennis, watched movies, and finally went to sleep. Then got up the next day and did the same thing over again. The kids loved the swimming pools and the lazy river. I figured at some point they would get tired of swimming. Nope! We stopped on the way back to spend the night in Vegas and had just enough time to, you guessed it, go swimming!

This was the view of the swimming pool from our balcony.
And the kids' favorite - the lazy river.Chloie loved playing ping-pong.And taking pictures of people playing ping-pong.I was happy Chris was able to come with us to help with the kids.
I have decided that I could use a full time nanny!
It was a great trip. We had a lot of fun and are ready to go again!
