Vacation in the sun!

We just got back from celebrating my mom's 60th birthday down in Southern California...sure stinks to come back to 40 degree weather and rain.

Pool kids!








Three girls out to lunch.



A hummingbird in its nest in my mom's backyard.



If you ever visit Palm Springs, they've got a great play structure at the airport!



Stella looking a bit tan on those cheeks!

The Living Desert

We also went to the Living Desert, which is kind of like a zoo crossed with a botanical garden, featuring all kinds of desert wildlife. It was beautiful, but very hot!
