End of Summer Celebrations!

This last weekend, we had carved out time on the schedule to have nothing planned so that we could hunker down as a family before the school year started.  Kit decided to surprise us with a spontaneous trip to the desert for a quick overnight.  We have never done this with the kids and we had the BEST TIME!
On our way out the Palm Springs, we made a few first time stops:
Hadley's for date shakes!
 And the Cabazon Dinosaurs!
We stayed at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa!  
The kids minds were blown with the king size bed:
 Ducks...
 Our view!
The water area is called Splashtopia and has a lazy river, water slides, pools, a small beach area, and a splash pad:
 Eden insisted o not only having her own tube, but half walking, half floating, half swimming...
Dinner at a favorite of ours in the desert:
After dinner and our pool time, we watched the semifinalists on America's Got Talent, all curled up on the bed.  The kids could not believe that you could lay in bed AND watch TV...
We had the best time and feel like we were able to see how Ryder was feeling before school and have really sweet conversations about the upcoming year, and just have FUN together as a family!!
We loved this place, especially for kids, and we are excited to plan a trip back!
