Darin, our son, Heather, our daughter-in-law and 2 grandkids, Elissa (10) and Zachary (8) came to visit us in Palm Springs for their school's winter break. They usually go to Phoenix but decided to come here. They had never been to Palm Springs. We were also able to celebrate Zachary's 8th birthday. with him. That was a real treat for us. We are usually on the road on his birthday. It was unusually hot for this time of year, in the high 80's the whole time they were here. We enjoyed lots of pool time, but also took them a few places. We all had such a good time.
Went to Village Fest, a festival held every Thursday night in old Palm Springs.
Lots of unusal things at Village fest. Elephant made out of golf clubs

Elissa and Zachary at The Living Desert, a great zoo. Everyone had lots of fun, but it was a hot day.

One day the boys and Elissa went to the Air Museum while Heather and I went shopping at El Paseo, Palm Springs equivalent to Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles. While at the museum, Darin bought Denny this 50 caliber bullet bottle can opener. Quite unusal.
We picked them up at the airport. President Obama had come the day before. Had a hard time getting to the airport because of road closures. Never been so close to Air Force One
They brought my Christmas present with them. Heather had the first 4 years of my blog put into a book. It was the best present ever.
