While we were visiting Shannan we went to see a few of the sights in her area. On Tuesday (my birthday!) we headed out to the oasis after Kaitlyn got home from school. I had heard about the oasis but wasn't able to see it last time we were out since I was busy trying not to puke and pretty much in a zombie like state of yuckiness. It was really cool to see all the palm trees that are just out in the middle of the desert. Malia showed us her totem pole and we walked around a little to check out the trees and a couple of lizards.
On Friday (our last day at Shannan's house) we went to the Living Desert. The butterfly and humming bird exhibit was really cool, even if all my kids wanted to do was play in the water! They have a huge model train exhibit that Max especially enjoyed. Emily really got into eating any rock that she could find. (I had no idea that she loved to chew on rocks so much!) At the end, everyone, especially Emily, had fun playing in the water and sand discovery area in Gecko Gulch!

Looks like a fun place. What a nice, long vacation. I could enjoy one of those pretty soon-except I don't think I'd want to take any kids!
I love California!! If home wasn't in Utah I'd choose Cali. It looks like a nice long trip. I still can't believe you drove!
