My parents are officially the greatest! They had us all gather to Palm Springs for some desert warmth & fun! Easter Sunday we attended the Palm Springs Ward, A-frame, sunken pit for piano & organ and all!
Here are the Openshaws!
Monday night we went on a covered wagon adventure to this cool oasis in the desert. It was a fun night & I need to find more pictures of it!
We aren't sure what Max was doing, but Porter gave us his interpretation!
One day we went to see the dinosaurs per Max's request on his official form from Grammy. He was trying to look like T-rex!
Those are big feet!
This is one crazy group with the cool brontosaurus (apatosaurus since the name changed)! We called it bronto- when I was a kid and visited!
Max loves all things dinosaur!
Even being eaten by one!
While the older kids went shopping to the outlet mall, this small group stayed to enter the gardens. We panned for gold & dug for dinosaur fossils. It was great!
Max & Libby had the greatest time together!
I just love being with cousins!
A cool part was climbing into the mouth of the T-rex. It was high, a bit of a challenge with the 3 young ones and not the best picture op, but necessary!
Another day we took our gang "hiking" to an oasis! It was the most beautiful place!
Max loved climbing the cool rocks, and by cool, that means temperature too. The oasis was amazingly breezy & pleasant on a 90 degree day!
Oh, others enjoyed climbing too!
Resting from our rigorous hike! (It wasn't far since the parking lot is actually at the oasis!)
Max in his home!
Excitement when Porter spotted a rattlesnake stuck in this palm. We watched the ranger rescue it since it was hanging by it's neck from a thorn.
Bec, Brad & I decided to go on a real hike after. All others opted to return home for lunch & the pool. I am really amazed we haven't done this before with all of our years in Palm Springs, it was incredibly beautiful!
