"Stranded" in Palm Springs

And loving it!!!

Grandma took us on a field trip to the Living Desert. It was awesome!

Jillian informed us that she had never ridden on a camel before. You never would have known it to see her climb right on up on its back.


The 10 month old giraffe was almost 12 feet tall; to put his parents into perspective.

It was a fantastic experience.






Replacing the tanks is taking longer than expected, as does all repair work.

The charm of the 60's retro hotel wore off quickly as we got to know our insomniac tv watching neighbors and now truly appreciate the phrase 'paper thin walls.' It had some great perks, but it would have been hard for an additional week and a half. So thanks to hot wire's unpublished rates we found an amazing deal at the Embassy Suites.

We won't be able to thank Beth and Jeff enough for the many amazing meals, sleepovers for the kids, help for Robb with the rig, even a trip to the symphony! The kids are enjoying being with their cousins more than I can express.

Whenever we left my Grandma McDonough she would call it crying day.
Today is crying day as my parents are heading up to Coeur d'Alene for a few weeks. We won't see them until sometime this spring :(
It won't hit me for a few days, but then Robb will notice that I'm in a bit of a mood and he'll know why.
As always, we have enjoyed our time together immensely.

  1. I'm so glad you posted this, I was in need of a provost fix! Being with family is the best. Especially when cousins are around. Tell your parents that if they need a kid fix, they can hang out with mine as much as they want!:) Miss you.
