We were able to squeeze in a pit stop in Vegas to meet our newest family member, little Macey Morgan. She's a doll.
The boys were thrilled to see palm trees and a ride on Josh's scooter was a definite favorite, too!
We then met up with Eric's parents and headed south to sunny Palm Springs. The weather was just perfect...sunny and about 80 degrees. Eric and I kept trying to figure out why we don't live in California! Seriously though, the weather was heavenly. We rode bikes everyday and swam every afternoon. Perfect.
We rode the Palm Springs tram and enjoyed mountains (real mountains!) and cooler weather. The scenery up top was breathtaking. The boys loved hiking and climbing on everything in sight.
Sam's love for whales seems to be slowly slipping away. Before it's totally gone, we thought a trip to Sea World was a must for this 4 year-old-ocean-creature-loving guy. And guess what...it was a HUGE hit!
Sam was tall enough for all of the rides and loved them almost more than the whales! He loved the dolphin show and of course Shamu. He kept asking during each show if the animals were real or just pretend. He couldn't believe he was seeing them in person. Our trip to Sea World was worth every penny!
We were sad to see our trip come to an end. Good thing the boys had their backpacks, shark souvenirs, and a big bag of gummy worms for our trip home.
We stopped in Sin City again on the way home and met up with more of the Morgan-A-Tours. We were only missing Ally...and we missed her a lot! Even sweet Grandma Verda made the trip down to Vegas and we absolutely loved seeing her. What would it be like to live close to family again? We can't even remember!
You just have to soak up time with family when you can, and we felt so lucky to do just that last week. Thank goodness for vacation!

How fun to be with family and have a break in warm weather!
I LOVE your photos. I always love your photos though. Grant's love of whales is also dropping down a notch but I've still want to take him to Sea World. I'm glad your boys loved it so much.
I'm loving the bike helmets and the shark souvenirs. Lindsay, so fun that your parents got to have all four of their grandkids together. I bet they loved it.
Favorites: Sam and Max with Elmo and Big Bird, and the shark souvenirs.
I'm so sad I missed the Morg-a-tours all together. I'll have to see you sometime in January. Deal? Love you!
