Trip to Indio

Camels!

There was one area at The Living Desert where everything was modeled after a Kenyan village.

The hotel also had a playground which Brad enjoyed.

Both families in the hotel living room.

Fun in the lazy river

Michael and Brad playing in the kiddie pool which was only 1 foot deep all the way around.

The view from the back of our room.

The view from our balcony. The lazy river was awesome and Sky and Timi were the perfect height to be able to walk around in it without a parent.

Some good friends of ours, the Monafu family, have a time share in Indio, CA (close to Palm Springs). They recently invited us to go with them for a 4 day get away and we eagerly took them up on the offer. We had a fabulous time!!! We visited The Living Desert, a zoo and botanical garden nearby. We ate out at PF Chang's one night (that's one of my favorite restaurants) and we grilled steak on our hotel balcony one night.

Our accomodations consisted of 3 bedrooms (Sky and Brad in 1, Ken and I in another and the Monafu family in another), 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and outdoor patio. We were on the 4th floor so we had to really keep an eye on Brad so that he didn't try to climb a chair and go parachuting without a parachute. We had a wonderful time. The kids had a blast together and Sky even said that she wished we could live there.
