Weekend Get-Away!

Huge Thanks to the Thacker Fam for inviting us to Palm Springs. And an even bigger thanks to college football for not scheduling a USC game on Saturday!
And we're off...

This girl was so annoyed by the sun in her eyes...as well as the strap that was once on her shoulder.
We started our party at the outlets for a little shopping.
Who needs amusement parks when you have a 50 cent ninja turtle bus?!
After 19 months of despising water...Collin decided this weekend that it's not so bad.
Maybe it was the 110 degree temperature that made it better?
After our afternoon of swimming...it was off to a fun dinner!
As you can tell by Matthew's thumbs up...the food was DELISH! And so was the company!
Once the kids went to bed, we let the games (and ice cream) begin!
I think we stayed up too late that night because Sunday morning, I must have been a little too delirious as I walked straight into a cement step.
(please excuse my nasty toes. I was suppose to get a pedicure before the trip. good thing I didn't!)
I'm about 110% it's broken. Kind of put a damper on the morning. At breakfast...I was still feeling crappy. Our mode of transportation to and from breakfast. After church, we went to tour The Parker Hotel. It was AMAZING! I really wanted to take pictures of everything there.
I loved this wall art...I promise Matthew was having a good time...
Then it was back to the pool for one last dip before we had to say our goodbyes.



And then one last dinner with the group! Here's Bryan trying to sneak Gordon into the restaurant. No such luck.

I think every comment, every post says FUN! And your poor toe, my mom's third one is broken and it is quite the handicap! But the big one-OUCH! And I am so happy Collin decided she would touch the water.

SUMMER said...

FUN FUN times... our quick trip seemed like it lasted long and I was grateful for that! I still feel so bad you bumped your toe... I can't even look at it because it just screams "HURT"! I am sorry we all thought you were not really that hurt... we were wrong my broken toe friend!!! Angela really pulled through for me and lived up to all expectations! Berkley on the other hand.. you finally got to see in action! CRAZY girl. Can't wait for your second child to come.... and that is NOT an announcement people!

Seriously people... so much fun there!!! I'm here in my garage doing good ole spuhler sprouts, listening to kids cry and dancing and singing at the top of my lungs so they will stay entertained, sweating my b u t t off, and there you go! :) Glad you had a blast, but oh my goodness, that toe!! There's nothing worse than a hurt toe! Even stubbing it stinks. I'm so sorry to see that. um, you have like 3-4 weeks to get that thing better sister. :)

Amanda C said...

Ooooo... too bad for the toe. Hope it is healing nicely. I would feel really bad to force you to do my hair hobbling around the salon.

A Rosie Family said...

How fun! Glad you finally got that fun weekend getaway you have been wanting. So sorry about the toe though... looks very painful. Hope you are feeling better!!

Now, tell the truth, one of those smiles in the pictures were while you were thinking "A day away from Primary!". And you deserved it!
