This year for Spring Break, we got to go visit our dear friend Kathy (Scoob's mom) in Palm Desert, California. We packed 4 kids and 3 adults in the car and headed out early in the morning and drove there with only having to stop 3 times. For breakfast, a Potty Break, and Lunch. YAY~could have been a lot worse.
Kathy so graciously let us stay at her gorgeous house for 2 nights. She is one great hostess and an awesome cook. We ate homemade pizza one night and had a BBQ the next night. She also had the house full of my kids favorite snacks and drinks. My kids loved swimming in her pool and lounging in her hot tub. Blakley just loved being able to be outside:)
Miss Sunshine Girl chillin in her mommy's sunglasses!
Carter really could have been mistaken for a fish this trip.
Swimming was all he wanted to do.
Troy would just giggle when his daddy would throw him into the water.
Tanner decided to lounge in the sun one afternoon, too bad we didn't reapply his sunscreen. His poor arms got burned.
After our BBQ, we made smores around the fire pit.
After the 2 nights with Kathy, we went to a resort for the weekend. This resort just may be the nicest place I have ever stayed out. And boy was there money there. I have never seen so many nice cars in one place before: BMWs, Rolls Royces, Mercedes, Cadillacs, Bentleys, Ferraris, and Aston Martins. We fit right in with our Durango~ HAHA! It was so fun to pretend like we were rich for a weekend:) I just had to laugh when someone asked me "Are all these kids yours?" Most families only had one or two kids.
Shortly after getting into our room, room service showed up with cookies and milk for the kids and chips and salsa for us. Don't worry we remembered to tip him:)
The resort had a huge pool with several little connecting pools and hot tubs. It also had a sandy beach for the kids to play on. When I first put Blakley down in the sand, she held her feet and hands up and wouldn't touch it. Funny Girl!
It was Nickelodeon Weekend while we were there. They had a Nick crew that would put on these poolside shows where the kids got to participate. Tanner had to hold a huge water balloon over his head and pop it. Too bad it was filled with Slime!
These two are so cute together.
He adores her and she idolizes him:)
As part of the Nickelodeon Weekend, the kids got surprises left on their bed the 1st night. They each received a backpack, a pillowcase, a stuff animal and a book. SpongeBob for the boys and Dora for Blaklee
On Saturday morning, we had reservations for a Character Breakfast with Dora and SpongeBob. They kids absolutely loved this! There was fun music with kids dancing everywhere. We also got to meet them and get our picture taken with them:)
Scoob even got in on the action!
Match made in Heaven:)
Oh California, we will be back soon. I promise!
Thanks for the sunshine:)
Scoob and Kathy thanks for the AWESOME TRIP!
You guys are the greatest!
