I know I am doing my best to make sure that whatever it is, it is something wonderful. Every day is full of so many opportunities to make a lasting memory.
I know that most of these days my boys will forget. But the best part is that I won't. I will remember the slimy sticky fingers after the market. I will remember the smiles on the playground. I will remember the "extra" bits that end up in my recipes. I will remember how Radley loves to sing at night and Mack loves to snuggle up and read stories. I will remember the grander adventures that require packing, schlepping, and a bit more effort. And I know that in their souls they will remember the love and the spirit, if not the details. If they know nothing other than deep inside that they feel special, then my work is done.
As such, we spent a good part of last week making some special memories with our favorite people on the planet. We ventured off to Palm Springs where Bailey got some love and Mack got some OJ...
And the rest of us played and soaked up the beautiful desert sun and spent time in the Children's Discovery Museum ...
Ventured on to the La Quinta Art Festival where we saw some amazing stuff, but mostly the kids were meserized by this...
We also spent most of the next day at the Living Desert...which was amazing and probably my favorite activity of the whole trip.
One of the coolest carousels ever! With warthogs, wild dogs, hawks, tree frogs and more! So many cool animals that I have never before seen on a carousel! They rode round and round and round several times...
And the highlight for me....riding Camels!!!
More to come...
