Palm Springs

Our short trip to Palm Springs was defined mainly by the amount of time the kids spent in the swimming pool. It was hot weather, so the pool was a great way to cool off. It was also the first time the kids got to try on floaties (as J called them), which we had borrowed from some friends. J, in particular, was a lot more comfortable in the water because he had the floaties on his arm.

The float was fun even on dry land.

When not swimming, we visited The Living Desert, which was basically a zoo set in the desert, with desert animals. So so hot. Right near the entrance is a huge model train set-up. We didn't know about it, so we hadn't mentioned it to J at all. But when he saw it... Let's just say that he was so excited, he peed in his pants. And I mean that in the most literal sense.


Other fun things that J got to try: rock climbing! He's still too little, but he was willing to give it a try so we let him.
