Just the four of us went to Palm Springs this week. On the drive out, we stopped at the famous Dinosaur attraction. The kids really liked it and wanted to climb up the dinosaur, so we did. They thought it was so cool.
We used our timeshare and stayed at the Lawrence Welk Desert Oasis. It was very hot there, temperatures ranging from 110 - 114 whew! We were either in the pool or inside. The pool water was even warm, so it was nice, but not as refreshing as you had hoped when jumping in the water. The kids just LOVED being in the pool all day. And, the adults (mom & dad) enjoyed it too!
Kylee got sick on Tuesday with a fever and stomach ache, so we spent the day inside the room. Scott and I traded off taking Shane to the pool. It was a bummer, no fun being sick on vacation. But, at least it only lasted for one day.
On Thursday, we were able to go to Knott's Soak City - boy was it hot. You can't even walk around without your flip flops or your feet will burn like crazy. Scott found this out the hard way. Since we were on vacation, we splurged and got a cabana with misters, our own server and lots of ice cold water- it made the day much more enjoyable. Good thing, because all of the shaded spots were taken, and we would not have lasted as long without the cabana. The kids loved the wave pool, and it was very refreshing in there. The slides were a lot of fun too - just so hot waiting in line, so we did not do those a whole lot. Kylee & Mom did try the funnel ride (the kids called it the toilet bowl), since Shane was not tall enough - it was crazy, but a lot of fun.
We came home on the 4th of July after a fun filled week of exhaustion by the sun and heat. It took more of a toll on us than we realized. We wanted to spend some time with friends on the 4th, but ended up just hanging out at our house watching our neighborhood fireworks. It was all good though. Hope you all had a Happy 4th of July!
