Our last Hoorah of Summer!

We had a fun Summer and maybe didn't get to do all the things that I wanted (like go to the library once a week, and spend many hours having the kids read, and have the house clean every day before going out to do something fun, and going to the pool every week) but we tried to have fun and do stuff with the kids as much as possible. We had one last hoorah before school started. Chris' dad let us stay in their time share in Palm Desert for 3 days last week since he couldn't use it the entire week. Chris also had some work to do out there so it worked out perfect! Now the weather there in Summer is beyond HOT but we didn't mind because we literally spent all day at the pool (except Chris, he had to work so he went to the pool as much as he could) The pools were nice and refreshing and the kids love the slide. There was also a new pool at the resort that had a sandy beach and a walk in salt water pool. We had a blast and can't wait to go back to Palm Desert!

One night while we were there we took the kids to the JW Marriott hotel and it is simply beautiful. The kids love to go to our favorite restaurant there BY BOAT! The boat picks you up inside the hotel and takes you out on the grounds and docks at the restaurants there. I think it's pretty neat. (that and one of my favorite shows as a kid was filmed there, Saved by the Bell. Remember when Screech takes Lisa on the boat)

The kids under 7 have to wear a life Jacket. The boys don't look too happy about it. Maddie put one on to be a good sport but then took it off later.

Libby was not a fan of the life jacket. Once we went out onto the water she was so excited. She loved the wind in her face and made the cutest cooing sound and closed her eyes while the wind blew in her face. Just precious.

We just love the restaurant Mikado, the steak is amazing and the kids love to watch the fancy tricks the chefs do.
