Palm Desert with the DeVries Bunch

Every year my mom and her siblings all get together in Palm Desert for a week of fun and sun.  We were able to join this year along with some of the other cousins.  It was a blast and crazy as usual, we truly have a blast with our family! I was a bit of a slacker in taking pictures the first couple days, but really how many pictures of a pool can you take!?  

We really didn't do much, the kids and I spent probably 6 hours in the pool every day, Tyson napped with the kids every day, we went to the COD (big flea market), Tyson golfed, we went out to dinner with cousins, and we laughed and laughed and laughed! It was great!

Olivia and Hallie (2nd Cousins).  Olivia was adorable and they were just starting to have a great time before we left.  They became shoe buddies and switched shoes daily. :)

Poor Micah needs some more boy cousins!!

There were several places that everyone stayed.  A family friend's house (where the Palm Desert tradition began), another rental house (where we stayed), aunt's house, aunt and uncle's house, and hotel.  Everyone congregated at the family friend's house, and in order to visit in the evenings we had the kids camp out in front of a movie so we could visit.

Have I mentioned my newest product which I just cannot seem to get photographed correctly!? No it's not a dog leash like the kids like to pretend or even a child leash like Shell tried at Disneyland... it's a sippy cup leash! (which we now know can provide much entertainment and has a variety of uses!)

Like I said, he needs some more boy cousins!

Pool fun!
