We swam most the day Saturday as well.
This may be my favorite picture from the trip. :) Nice toe touch Paul!!
He wore himself out being a super fun dad!!
Chad got off work a little early and came and swam with us. We had gotten out to have a cannonball contest and noticed that it looked like a storm was coming. Within about 10 seconds, an absolutely crazy wind storm blew in! There were instantly things flying everywhere. We all ran inside and luckily none of us were hit by anything. The kids thought we were in a tornado for sure. There were trees breaking and the awning broke off the roof, so there were loud scary noises along with things flying all over the place.
When it calmed down enough to go outside, Paul and Chad tried to see if they could fix the awning, but it was definitely broken. They pulled all the big stuff out of the pool, and we were shocked at how much was in there.
There was about half a tree, a table, and 3 chairs. That was the end of swimming for the trip.
On Sunday we decided to ride the Palm Springs Tram.
A shuttle took us up to the base of the mountain where we could buy tickets.
We had some time to kill so we looked around the souvenir shop, ate some lunch, and Rockwell learned what a pay phone is. :)
The ride up on the tram is about 15 minutes, and it rotates so you get 360 degree views of the mountains and the valley.
It's much cooler at the top of the mountain, and it felt great! We were able to hike around on some trails and enjoy a much different kind of beauty than down in the desert.
It was a fun Fall Break, and we were glad we could spend time with Chad!
I couldn't believe what blew into the pool so quickly! I'll bet it was a little scary for the children! It looks like a great trip! I'm glad you were able to go! I tried commenting from my phone but it didn't work but sure enjoyed reading your blogs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was a good trip, minus the pool problems. I'm so glad you guys weren't in the pool. Also, Paul's toe touch is the best picture ever!
