Levi's New Skateboard

Happy Birthday Levi!!

Happy 9th birthday to our Levi! 

Palm Springs: Painted Canyon Hike 2

On Tuesday we went back to the painted canyon with the Sagerts. It was definitely our favorite hike! The kids liked climbing the ladders and weaving in and out of the narrow walk ways.

There were lots of rocks and boulders to climb:

We took a different path than last time and ended up at the top of the mountain.

It was a beautiful view in all directions:

Palm Springs: Our Last Week

Our last week in Palm Springs was so fun! Our friends, the Sagerts, joined us for our final few days. The kids all loved the pool and that's where we were most of the time!

There was a constant line up for Rick to throw the kids into the pool. They loved it!! 

One morning we went back to our favorite hike, in the painted canyon.

We also went to the Wet & Wild waterpark, out for dinner a couple of times and did some shopping. A perfect ending to a great month!!

Palm Springs: Cross Hike

Last Friday we went on hike near La Quinta. It was so hot out and the climb was pretty steep. We all had a lot of fun, but it was very hot.

The view from the top was great! 

Palm Springs Air Museum

Last Friday we went with Grandma & Grandpa to the Palm Springs Air Museum. The kids had fun exploring and looking at old planes.

There were so many different airplanes and helicopters to look at!

Their favorite part was "flying" the planes.
