Palm Springs With The Torres'

We had such a great trip in January when we went to San Diego with the Torres' that we decided to do it again. Only this time we went to Palm Springs to lay by the pool! Once again we had an absolute blast. The trip could not have gone any better. We hope to have many more trips like these!
Upon arriving Thursday, we dumped our bags in our rooms (which were next door making it super easy and fun) and headed straight for the pool...

We didn't waste any time before jumping in the water...

This is the gang - except for Josue who was taking the picture. We had many people coming up to us to tell us how "cute" the kids were and how much they "loved our baby rafts".

Berks was a bathing beauty and fell asleep immediately after getting into her raft:) Hey - it's tough work being this cute!

Berkley's 1st bikini (or tankini actually):

We came up to the rooms to shower and settle in for the night. Cade & Sofia absolutely A.D.O.R.E. each other and it is just so darn cut. When they see each other for the 1st time each day, they run from across the room towards one another and throw their arms around each other's neck for a big hug. Reminds me of those movies when they play that scene in slow motion:) These 2 were completely entertained with one another and made it so easy for us adults to relax a bit. Both nights, we hung out in our room, chatted, ordered a pizza, and had a few drinks.

Here are the "besties" on night #1:

All this fun was tiring!

Day 2 - Berkie was up and anxious to go back to the pool:)

And so were Pete and Repeat:)

Once again, the Prima Donna had a little snooze by the pool....

And then again in her pack n' play. It was so nice having this out by the pool. I covered it with a towel once the sun was over us (we were in the shade still in this pic) so she stayed out of the sun.

These 2 were on such good behavior that they got a "teet" (treat)....

Whoops!

Mommy got one too... until Cade took it:)

Night #2 - These 2 were pretending they were babies and they wanted to play under Berkley's gym mat.

This is how Cade looks 90% of the time. He is obsessed with his binkey and his "nite nite" (blanket) and HAS TO HAVE THEM! He has always loved his binkey but this blanket obsession is quite new. It is definitely his sense of security. Some say not to give it to him unless he's in his crib, but I just can't do it. It breaks my heart to see him want it SO BAD..... what's the big deal? It's not like he's going to get married still holding it.

And that's all! Brad's quote to sum up the trip: "Any trip where we never used a stroller or carseat... now that's a good, relaxing trip." We literally parked the car, and never left the resort the entire trip. Thanks Tami, Josue and Sofia! We had a blast with you guys!
