So nice being on vacation, no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning, etc. It seems as almost everything we plan to do isn’t working out so well. We went to the Living Desert and Zoo on the hottest day, the tram is closed for maintenance….we thought about going to Boomers yesterday but it didn’t open until later. We ended up at Chuck E Cheese. It was great though as dad never has a chance to go with us and we basically had the place to ourselves. They had some different games as well. After the kids got to play a bit we went over to the mall. Of course it was for them too as there was a play area there. Dad stayed with the kids in the play area while I ran around to do some shopping. I didn’t find anything though. Then we all went to the food court for lunch. This mall had little kid tables so we all sat there, it was cute. We let the kids buy something at the mall from Palm Springs. Nikki picked out a baby Belle and Justin shocked us by picking a car (sarcasm). We came back to the hotel for a bit and the kiddos watched TV. Lots of Sponge Bob on here. Since we did everything for the kids and myself it was dad’s turn. We let him take a nap while the kids and I went down to the pool. The water was cold so we only stayed in the pool for a short bit. Dad met us down there just as we were heading to the jacuzzi. We went to the main street and walked around a bit. Then went to a Mexican place for daddy. It was a great place apparently, my quesadilla was really good. So great that Nikki will eat burritos with daddy. The kids got mock strawberry daquiries and pina coladas. They loved them. So fun when they try things for the first time. There was a band at the restaurant so we went and watched. Nikki didn’t hesitate to get up and dance. She loved everyone watching her. I danced with Justin for a bit then him and Nikki started dancing. The older people dining were just smiling at J&N. Nikki didn’t want to leave but Justin wanted to come back to the hotel. The kids played Wii for a bit then it was off to bed.
