Palm Springs

Ok remember months ago when I mentioned out trip to Palm Springs? Well here it is finally! Can you believe it...I am in the mood to blog...lol.

The first week in June we went to a resort called the Worldmark by Wyndam in a town called Indio...about 30 miles west of Palm Springs. We actually went as a whole family. Our first as an entire family...I guess there isn't a right or wrong time to start...right?
Anyway, we made the 10 hour drive (starting in Cedar City), with a few wrong turns and a few arguments. California is not the best place to take a wrong exit, you have to go about 20 or so miles to get back to where you started. Anyway, we made it at about 9:30pm and were exhausted, but the place was amazing. Some of my crazy family went immediately to the pool while it was still open. Wes and I were too tired and agitated to go swimming. The next morning we just hung out at the resort and swam. It was very relaxing. Tuesday we went to Six Flags (everyone but mom). Hailey was quite the dare devil and tried all of the little kid rides. She even went on the log flume twice and was in the very front the second time. That is the only big ride that i went on!! I'm not the biggest fan of rollercoasters, ao when we pulled into the parking lot I had a sudden anxiety attack just looking at them. Wes hung out with Scott and Franci so he could actually go on some cool rides. Katie and I spent our day in the kid area and we were both completely content there. I know, we are wimps...but oh well. The rest of the week was spent at the resort. Some of us went golfing, some went back to Six Flags, but mostly we just swam. One night we had a family party of sorts. My amazing little sister planned a jeopardy game for us and it was a blast. So many laughs and great memories were made that week. I hope we can continue this in coming years. LOVE YOU FAMILY!!!

That looks like so much fun! I have loved our trips with my family. California was fun, but I even loved St. George too.

That looks like a lot of fun. I wish I knew whose kids everybody is. You'll have to label them sometime so we know. I am glad you guys did that! How did you end up there? It looks really nice!!
