Spring Break 2011

Our family decided to do a little something from the norm for our Spring Break. We headed out to Palm Desert for a little bit of fun. We stayed at the Rancho Las Palmas. We chose this hotel because it has a mini water park and a ton of restaurants around it. We started the day at the fitness center (of course) and ended at the water park or the lazy river. One recommendation for you parents out there...make sure your sun screen isn't expired. Cody ended up with a bad burn on his back so we had to go buy him a rash guard. We made lots of good memories though.

This is Cody in the kids hot tub with his squirt gun. All of the kids were squirting each other.

Us in front of the kids hot tub. This was still Cody's favorite. He loves him some warm water.

The water park area had two water slides.

This is part of the lazy river. To the right of this is a beach entry pool for kids.

Cody had fun spraying kids he didn't know. Next time we will bring a friend so he can play and squirt someone he knows. Most of the kids there were good sports...after all it is a WATER park!!

Daniel and Cody didn't exactly relax in the lazy river. They played chase! I got in there a couple of times. One time I jumped in and managed to stay dry but then I got squirted in the face by some random kid. There were a million people around so how he chose me I will never know! Good times!

Cody was excited to have this big bed all to himself. Since it was vacation we told Cody he could stay up as long as he wanted to but sure enough with all of the playing and sun he was asleep by 8:00 every night.

This shows how close we were to the lazy river. It was literally right outside our back door. In the morning all we had to do was go out our gate to enter into the water park.

Before we went to Palm Desert we were able to see and spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Bell. We went down south to have lunch and play on the rocks at the beach. Cody loves seeing his Grandparents! Not to mention that means that he gets to play with Autumn's boys everyday while they are here.




While my parents were here another activity we did with everyone is dye eggs. The boys had a fun time coloring their eggs. The Easter Bunny did make it to our home and Cody found all of his eggs! At least nothing is stinking as of yet!! Thanks Mom and Dad for your visit. It's always fun to have you guys around!
