Indio!

This past weekend we headed out to Indio with the Tegts to spent a few days at their time share resort! We went with them 2 years ago and had a blast! This time they got a three bedroom and the Vitranos came as well. So for Friday night, Saturday day, Saturday night and Sunday morning there were 6 adults and 7 children in a 3 bedroom apartment! It was crazy but so much fun. So, you might be asking yourself... what is there to do in Indio? And then you might ask, how freakin' hot is it in Indio? Well, since it is about 105 degrees there and you can't take kids into the casinos... we swam! And that is all we did! The resort has 3 pools all located in the same area. You can take a dip in the big pool or cruise around the lazy river on an inner tube... or like us hang out in the 1 foot kiddie pool all day! Actually, we all loved the kiddie pool, the kids loved running around in it and as an adult you can lay in the sun while being mostly submerged so you don't melt from the heat. We would head up to the room at lunch time and eat and put the kids down for naps and get some rest ourselves and hang out then head back down to the pools. At night after the kids went to bed we played board games and drank wine! As we were getting ready to leave on Sunday the Young family showed up to stay the last night with the Tegts.

Cousins!

A few weeks ago our family drove up to Thousand Oaks to spend the day with Anthony's cousin Mary and her family. Anthony's Uncle Sam and his wife Kelly were out here in CA visiting from Nevada and staying with Mary. We have gone many years without seeing this part of his family and have recently made more of an effort to get together with them and I am so glad we have because we all have so much fun together! Mary has 5 kids and a stepson! And they are all great and Aidan and Alec have a blast playing with them, even though the younger ones their age are girls! This last time we went up there I showed Mary digital scrapbooking and she was immediately hooked... even though she doesn't have a clue how to do it! We downloaded a free trial of Photoshop and everything! We were on the computer for probably 3 hours at least! So we had to make a plan for them to come down here soon so I could show her all of my stuff and we could make some more pages.
