Palm Springs in July

Thanks to Davin having a b-ball tournament in the lovely desert city of Palm Springs, we were able to take a family trip to the time share we frequent there. It was on the warm side, but the pool and air conditioning helped so much :)! It is so important to take time out with just the family. I put a lot of family focus on helping our children foster strong friendships, but sometimes it seems like an uphill road. I feel mother's delight when we are on our own and the kids relax and realize that they really are good friends!

Emmie swimming broken arm and all - Brody trying to keep up and doing a darn good job of it too!

Flat hair, no makeup, the word that comes to mind is yuck, but I was actually there which isn't always proven in pictures. Brad always looks the same lucky guy - lucky me.

Kellen really enjoyed the pool. He actually enjoys most things thank goodness. He was happy to be on the family trip especially if he was in the water with the others!
