Wallin Vacation ~ Day 3

Tuesday, June 9, 2015

This two fell asleep talking to each other and woke up talking to each other! Ellie really loves Owen! Love that she is just holding his hand!

Eating breakfast and watching cartoons while the older boys went golfing!

So funny story, the boys got to the 1st hole and a grounds crew guy was cleaning up some stuff and said be careful on hole 4 a couple of golfers spotted some rattlesnakes in the bushes! This bummed all the boys out because they all like to golf but by all means they aren't pro's, so unfortunately that means they lose a lot of balls! Which they did and they were to scared to go searching through the brush to find them, McKay came back with 2 balls left! Haha!  

Made the boys take a couple pictures of them golfing!

Isaac, he is the best!

Scott

Dad, who was not supposed to be golfing! Trouble he is!

McKay!

After the boys went golfing we headed to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway!

The Tramway is the World’s Largest Rotating Tramcar, it's a 10 minute journey up the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon. You begin the ride at the Valley Station – elevation 2,643 ft. and end at the Mountain Station – elevation 8,516 ft. There is anywhere from a 20 to 40 degree difference in temperature! It felt amazing up there! in Palm Springs it was about 105 degrees and once we arrived at the top it was 70 degrees and felt GREAT! It's like the only mountain for miles around in all directions! 

Getting ready to board the Tram! 

Starting our ascent!

It was a clear blue day with no clouds except for around the mountain! So funny the difference!

Carter thought it was so COOL!

Dad enjoying the view!

Scott and Isaac!

Still climbing!

Not to the top yet and you can already see how high we are!

Thick fog!

Made it to the top! Now to explore, hike and enjoy the cooler weather!

A state park at the top! With wildlife that only can survive the mountain climates!

Toomey Family!

Jones Family!

Starting our journey!

I can't believe the kids are holding McKay's hand and not running crazy!

That's more like it!

Grandpa stayed up in the lodge area! 

Part of the crew!

Carter found a way cool walking stick and we found this cool tree stump the kids said looked like a chair for a giant!

Cute Elle Belle!

The 3 stooges!

Ellie giggling at the kids!

Bay needed a rest! Dad's shoulders are always the best anyway!

This picture doesn't do this meadow justice! It was so pretty!

Looking down at the valley!

Carter loved looking through the telescope!

Toomey Family

After we got done seeing the views and hiking around we went back to get Grandpa and head back down the mountain!

The 3 Amigos!

Waiting to board the tram and taking a rest from our big hike!

After we got back down the mountain we stopped at an Italian place in Palm Springs that we were not dressed up for! That's okay though the food was yummy, the kids were good and that's all that matters!

Goofs!

Love my parents!
