Childrens Discovery Museum

Today we went to the Childrens Discovery Museum in Rancho Mirage.

They had so many fun activities but the giant lite bright was Norahs favorite!

Giving her turtle a checkup in the animal hospital

This little grocery store was so cute! It even had an ATM out front. Norah filled her cart with every piece of lunch meat and cheese so I think she's on the Keto diet too.  Then she waited patiently in line while another little boy bagged her groceries!

Next was the mini pizza parlor. She made a pizza, put it in the oven then delivered it to our table. 

They had a whole building devoted to construction and transportation and she went straight to the rack with the vests and hard hats and got to work rollin balls and pushin trains.

I highly recommend this place! Definitely pack a lunch because there are a lot of outdoor areas to picnic and you can stay all day if you want!

Summer Lovin'

In these last couple of weeks we've done more than we did the whole summer.

I've really been horrible at taking pictures but I thought it was time for a summer iPhone Photo Dump!

I feel like I've missed so much! Sometimes I get too caught up in having fun that I forget to take pictures. I've been thinking about taking a photography class just so I could get the basics down but I haven't been able to find one that works for me. Any suggestions in the Southern California area?

Fair with Friends

A couple of weeks ago we went to the OC fair with some of our Life Group friends. 

We had so much fun!

We even managed to get photo booth pictures with all 6 of us!

We also saw the worlds largest steer... he was pretty scary

No trip to the fair is complete without some crazy food!

We're so blessed to have such an awesome group of people in our lives!

Palm Springs Getaway

The last couple of days were spent in Palm Springs for a little getaway.

My husband works so hard and its almost necessary for him to take a little trip every once in awhile so he can clear his head. 

On the way there the temperature just went up and up and up.

I think 112 was the hottest I caught.

We stayed at the Desert Springs Marriott. My family would stay there when I was little and it's also where Jessie Spanos dad got married on Saved By The Bell.

We pretty much spent a whole day and a half sitting in the pool. It was the only place to be

We also enjoyed a nice fluffy bed that didn't have a rambunctious puppy in it!

I was most excited to see the Forever Marilyn statue right in Downtown Palm Springs.

We caught her right before she went to another city.

Tim has been wanting to go to a fancy dinner since....forever.

It was so fun getting dressed up and eating at one of the fanciest restaurants we could find.

I was most excited about my shoes and accessories

We caught the last boat tour at the hotel before heading to dinner.

Here's a quick Vine of our ride :)

Although we were happy to come home to our little guy, it was a little difficult waking up in our own bed and not having a pool to lounge in

Till next time Palm Springs!
