warning: LOTS of pictures to follow
we were lucky enough to spend the last part of october in southern cali. after waaaaay too long in the car, we beheld this lovely sight:
my grandma's house in sunny, warm, plam springs!
-
lily was so good going to sleep that night, she needed to brush her teeth, "i do it myself!"
we went out to the living desert, the local zoo which amazingly enough i have never been to. where have i been the last 26 years?!
lily and jerry are quite the independent duo!
our first weekend there we got to drive up to long beach and spend some time with aunt becky and uncle david. thankfully the girls rode like this:
our first night we walked out on the pier and had a burger at ruby's.
the next morning the older girls got to have mani/pedi's. this was lily's first experience. she went for just a pedi, and when the lady came at her feet with the clippers, she yanked back her foot and said "no!" so really her pedi turned into just paint. and stickers of pumpkins and spiders, but they were picked off in no time!
that afternoon we headed to the elementary school nearby and played.
i snuck a pic of becky enjoying herself. now we all know what she does in her spare time;)
the next day we went down to seal beach again so lily could play there. how fun to have a playground in the sand.
zoe's first visit to the beach, of course we had to dip her tootsies. she didn't hate it...
and of course we had to leave with a seashell necklace to remember our time.
zoe pulled this face on our way home.
so lily and i did too!
grandma jerry and zoe
back in palm springs, we came across the witch from snow white at the mac store, and lily really wanted her picture taken. she said, "we have that!"
our good friends drove down from yucaipa and we went miniature golfing with them. of course my camera died as we started, so this is my only proof!
zoe and macy
on our way out of town we stopped to spend a night with my uncle richard and aunt bonnie. due to some unforeseen circumstances, their guest bedroom was occupied, so the put us up...
at the four seasons! talk about spoiled! i didn't take any pics prior to the bed being jumped upon.
they had a nice crib for zoe all set up, complete with diapers, wipes, and a johnson's travel set with all the necessities.
and this little tent set up for lily to sleep in. talk about star treatment!
thanks everyone for an amazing vacation!
