First of all – you must start playing this song so you can get into the sunshine mood. This was track number one from our ‘Palm Springs’ playlist. Everytime we go on a trip I buy new music and make us a new CD. That way there is always a song that takes us right back to the fun we had on our vacation. The hard part is finding songs with lyrics that can be sung by all ages! Believe me – the girls have already pointed out the slighty shifty drinking references in this song. Let’s just use that as a teaching moment, eh?
Now to the real post! I usually don’t manage to get into very many pictures when I am on vacation. Or any other time for that matter! This time I made sure I was in at least one pool picture (see below) because I had to prove to Allen that I did, indeed, get into the pool. Last year he was there to do all the fun stuff in the pool and I was happy to sit on the lounge chair and watch. This year I had to show that I got in and played a bit too! (I have to admit that most of my pool time, though, was in a floaty chair with my book!)
The picture above is one of my all time favorites. Kate was begging to take a picture of me so I let her have at it. The settings were all screwy but that happy accident made for a great picture. The one below is a picture Jill took of us after I fixed the settings. Fine but not great. It just doesn’t have that dreamy feel. I should have kept those screwy settings!
Finally, the last picture is not of me. (Unless I have turned into a 737 after all that vacation eating!) All of my girls have cameras and I really enjoy seeing things from their persepectives. Now if we could just figure out how to download them…
