Palm Springs - Art Museum

Sunday we went to the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert. 



It was a pretty small space. It only took us 30 minutes to go through the inside part.






The outside gardens and sculptures were a nice addition to the museum. I liked the outside gardens better than the inside.

Palm Springs - Week Three

Week three was a busy one. Lots of activities and fun!

Monday was my parents last day here. We started out with a walk around the neighbourhood.


Then some pool time:


Before dinner family pictures:





Out for supper to Woody's burgers:


Lastly a few games before bed (look at that sunset!)


Tuesday my parents left early in the morning. The boys and I cleaned the whole house, washed bedding, etc. Then we went and got a few groceries. The rest of the day we spent in the pool :)

After supper we went to El Paseo Drive. We walked around and did some window shopping:



I tried to get some pictures of the boys, but they were all silly so I didn't get one good one!




Wednesday was an all day pool day!



Thursday the boys and I went to the area where they have all the windmills. It was so sunny, it was hard to see!


Then we went to the Cabazon dinosaurs:


and out for "Great Shakes" on the way home:




Friday Michael went golfing in the morning. The boys and I hung out in the pool :)


In the afternoon the boys went out with their Grandma & Grandpa to see Zootopia and out for supper. They were celebrating Levi's birthday a little early.
Michael and I went out for a nice dinner alone. We went to the Crab Pot. It was fantastic!






After supper, we all met back at the house for the rest of Levi's birthday celebration.... cake!




Saturday we walked to a nearby park. The boys had a little race. They thought they could out run Michael. LOL! (Zack had a head start)


The rest of the day was pool time!




So much fun!!

Palm Springs: Painted Canyon

The Painted Canyon hike is definitely our favorite hike! This was our 3rd time here and it was awesome! The boys love the big rocks and the challenge of this hike.
Lots of fun areas to explore!




Some very tight, narrow pathways:


Almost to the top:



We made it! What a great view:



There are several ladders that you have to go up (or down) to get to the next level. Some of them are quite tricky!


We made it! Another fantastic hike in the painted canyon.
