The Date Festival

You can't live in Indio and not go to the Date Festival!
It's our once-a-year excuse to pig out on carnival food: corn dogs, french fries, churros, date shakes etc. Hmmm, where should we start?

After we took Kayla to the petting zoo, we went to the arena to check out the demolition derby show.

It was so much fun! Kayla squealed in delight and kept yelling at the cars "look out!"

Here we are waiting in line for the ferris wheel. We were all excited to ride it, only to find out once we got up there that Kayla wasn't tall enough and they wouldn't let us on.

So we found a small area that had little kid rides so we could use up the tickets we bought. Luckily, they let Kayla stand on her tippy toes in order to reach the 36 inch mark.

Here we are waiting in the freezing cold for the concert to start.

And who the heck is Switchfoot anyway? I had no idea, until they started singing and I recognize this song.

Arizona Trip

My sister-in-law Trisha had a baby on Valentine's Day, so a few weekends ago we drove to Arizona to visit. We even got to see Devin's cousins Shawn and Joey and their families while we were there. It was raining that Saturday, so we ended up meeting at a Chick-Fil-A that had an indoor playground. We had a great time just hanging out and the kids had so much fun playing together.


We spent the next day hanging out at Trisha's house. Kayla loves playing with Kendis and Mason. And now she has a new cousin Elin Noelle!

What a treat, Grandma Evi was there too!

After playing a friendly game of Ticket To Ride, it was time to head back to Grandpa Jayson's house for dinner.

Thank you Grandpa Jayson for letting us stay with you. We had a great time!
