My younger sister won a 2 night stay at Palm Springs Las Palmas Resort from KOST 103.5FM. We had breakfast buffet with the morning hosts Mark and Kristin. They were really friendly, signing autographs and chatting with us.
The kids enjoyed the Splashtopia (lazy river, water slide and a man made beach for the little ones). It was a 96 degrees, which the locals feel is "ok" weather.

It was the first time Darren saw tumbleweed, which he commented as "a ball of circles". On the way home, we saw 2 full rainbows as we crossed over to rainy Los Angeles. We left Palm Springs in shorts and T-shirts...boy, it was cold and windy in L.A. We stopped at Cabazon for quick shopping. I bought a new pair of Stride Rite shoes for Sarah(8M) and Darren (size 12.5W). And of course, Doug complained about Sarah's shoes being more expensive $29 vs $19. He better get used to it soon.
With warmer weather, there were many gatherings with family and friends. Grandma's birthday was 3/24 so we had a small family dinner. Here is a picture of the 5 granddaughters and a semi-complete family portrait. Some would say Sarah looks like Jodi when she was younger.
We were invited to Edward's 5th birthday party. Darren was hesitant to join in the games at first but I told him when time's up, he will have to leave. That's when he joined in the fun with the others. Sarah was her usual self, interacting with the other kids. She was dancing to "I like to move it" from Madagascar 2 soundtrack....look at that expression!
