Good Times With Gramma and Poppa

We had such an awesome visit with Ryan's parents. They arrived on March 18th. A few hours after they got back to our house we had a crazy hail storm along with lots of thunder and lighting and a ton of rain. It lasted a few hours and then it was fabulous weather the rest of their trip (thank goodness)

our backyard was a river

Randy and Ryan left the house at 4:45am to catch the sunrise at Joshua National Park

while the boys were picture taking, Kris and I took the kids shopping at the Cabazon Outlets 

We had my family over on the 22nd to celebrate mine and Kris's birthdays 

        waiting to dig in

my mom watched the kids on my birthday so we could have a nice kid free dinner at Lazy Dog

Randy and Ryan headed on another adventure to  Palm Springs. They took the tram to the top of the mountain  and hiked around

Kris and I took the kids to downtown Palm Springs

it was  a really hot day so we headed up to the pool to cool down

we went whale watching in Balboa. While we were waiting to board the boat we took the kids on the Ferris wheel 

the whales were pretty far away but at least we got to see a few

there were lots of dolphins 

we walked down to the beach after 

a little seal was sun bathing on the sand

a little dinner before we leave

and ice cream of course

beautiful sunset on the drive home

while I was at work everyone headed to Idyllwild for a few hours in the morning 

and a cool off swim in the afternoon
