:: Palm Springs - Part 10 ::

:: Here is the last post of our journey - on our last night we went to the street fair and had a great time walking around, watching people and sharing a Coldstone Ice cream. Here is Jacob enjoying Daddy's shoulders and letting the world know that apparently he is the king of the castle (ha ha) ::

:: One last swim before we packed up - This was the only time Jacob swam in the nude..nothing cuter than a little white bum splashing around! ::

:: Jacob hanging around in the Calgary airport with Daddy, we had a 3 hour layover there ::

:: Jacob and I just about done - our plane was delayed an extra hour...not the easiest thing after an already long day. This photo was taken at 11:00 pm ::

:: That is all folks, now I must get back to the banking and budget part of my day!!! This was a nice little break, but I must get back to work! ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 9 ::

:: Enjoying the pool as a family ::

:: Jacob getting his "water wings" ::

:: "Give me time Daddy, I will come in in my own sweet time" ::

:: "No time for kisses Mama, I must swim" ::

:: "Look at me go, I'm a big boy now...I don't need you, I've got my wings!" ::

:: "I must get my boat, I must, I must" ::

:: Too cool - swimming with Grammie (sorry 'bout your head Grammie) ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 8 ::

:: The sites around Palm Springs ::

:: The Living Desert ::

:: We really enjoyed this zoo, they had some very crazy creatures and a Wild Africa exhibit, where we got to see a giraffe being fed pretty much a foot infront of us! It was great, not to mention the huge train set up they had there (I would hear about it from Paul if I didn't mention that :). Unfortunately our digital ran out of juice about 15 minutes into the zoo - so these are the few pictures we got, all the rest are on film! ::

:: Paul looking for the cheetah ::

:: Kudos to my super Paul for this amazing picture! ::

:: More pictures from Catalina Spas - It was beautiful to see the sun set...we were not able to see the sun set at the house we were in and I really missed it! ::

:: My Dad, Uncle Ron & Paul looking at some old cars in a guys lot just outside of Catalina Spas ::

:: Amazing Plant/Cactus thing ::

:: yup, still more to come...don't know if I'll get much more done though, Jacob just woke up from his nap! ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 5 ::

:: My Little Lemon-head ::

:: My beautiful (not so little) babe ::

:: Dinner with my Aunt Shirley & Uncle Ron @ Catalina Spas - they have been down in Desert Hot Springs since mid November (lucky retired peoples) - we had a great dinner with them in their 5th wheel! I couldn't believe that she actually did a roast - It was amazing! Thanks for having us in! ::

:: Here is a picture of the park where my Aunt & Uncle stay - Must be tough eh! ::

:: Do I need to say it again...more coming! ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 4 ::

:: The many faces of Jacob while he is enjoying a cookie ::

:: This is his latest face - we call it the "funny face", he always bursts into a smile after the very serious look that he's giving here ::

:: Jacob & I enjoying an early morning swim while Paul was out golfing ::

:: Jacob hanging out with Grampy at Ruby's in Palm Desert ::

:: Oh, just wait, there is still more to come! ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 3 ::

:: Our very own lemon tree - In the yard of the house we stayed at there was this beautiful (very fruitful) lemon tree...we smelt the sweet nectar of the flowers every time the wind blew through the yard. It was amazing! ::

:: My Boys playing in the pool - Jacob turned out to be a real fish by the end of the trip ::

:: Some beautiful flowers that were right by my head when I was sunning....that's the only reason I took a picture of them, the camera was close and so were they :) ::

:: Jacob enjoying the pool and Daddy dropping water on his tummy ::

:: Jacob's set up - we were able to set up the jolly jumper outside under the patio and then set up a little t.v./dvd player on a chair in front of him. So if he was bored with watching us swim he could just move himself around to the t.v. and enjoy his movie. ::

:: Still more to come... ::

:: Palm Springs - Part 2 ::

:: One of our first stops in P.S. was Costco - now you know you're in P.S. when they have a Cadillac Golf Cart for sale...I believe it was selling for $1700.00! I stand corrected: Paul informed me that it was actually $13,000.00 for this crazy little golf cart!!!! ::

:: Jacob taking his turn at the wheel ::

:: Paul along with my Uncle and Dad went to this beautiful canyon called Indian Canyon. I stayed home with my Aunt, Mom & Jacob - It was too hot for a hike. This day ended up breaking records - it was 110 degrees! I was very thankful we didn't go, my Dad ended up having heat stroke from the hike mixed with a golf game ::
