Weekend in the Desert

I never thought of us as a "desert family."
We have have fair, fair, skin and an irrational fear of snakes.
However, this weekend with our wonderful friends the Hearns and Cirizas changed my mind dramatically.
Was it the awesome resort we stayed in?
Was it the wonderful evening chats after the kids were sleeping soundly after swimming all day? Was it the pina coladas?

The answer my friends is: YES!

This is one of, well, this is THE ONE picture I seem to have taken of Lucy's friends who were there this weekend. How did that happen? I think we had a few too many nap overlaps and missed the photo op action.
Quincy, Kadence, Maddie, and Wil were all there showing Lucy the joys of splashing and diving. Here little Wil Ciriza gives Lucy tips on maximizing your time in the kiddie pool.

Lucy loved her water wings and constantly wanted to be in the "big pool." She also wanted to swim unassisted, which I kept forgetting.

Thanks for a great weekend Kris, Kama, Mike, and Jenny. Can't wait to do it again soon!
