Palm Springs



               During the week off of school my family and I went to Palm Springs. Our hotel was called Rancho Las Palmas. We had two rooms one for my parents, and one for my brothers and me. We were there for three days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I went with a lot of friends.

 
               I went to the pool every day. You had to wear a bracelet that said the day, and it had to say Splashtopia (That was the name of the pool). The pool had a lazy river, a lazy river is when you sit in a tube and just sit there and it pushes you.  I also went to see Shrek Forever After (4).


                                                  
                                         Have you ever been to Palm Springs?


                                   
                                  Did you see Shrek 4?

                           
                            
                          Have you ever been in a lazy river?

Dear Sydney,

What a wonderful trip you had to Palm Springs! I love that area and have visited many times. Mr. Yollis' parents live very near to where you were, and that is why I am there so often.

One time when I was there, I went to a place called the Living Desert. It had a lot of desert animals and plants. Maybe next time you're there you can visit it!

I have never been in a lazy river. How long was it? How long did it take you to drift from one end to the other?

Your friend,
Mrs. Yollis

Hello Sydney,
I am so glad you had a good time in Palm Springs with your family and friends. I have been there three times and enjoyed my visit each time. Your family picked a great time of year to visit that area as it can get really hot there in summer! What temperature was it when you were there? Would like to go back to Palm Springs?
I have been in a "lazy river", too. They are lots of fun! I am glad you shared memories of your trip with us.
Sincerely,
Marsha Cooke

Dear Sydney,

I also was in Palm Springs but I did not get to watch the movie Shrek Ever After, you are a lucky duck. Anyway is this blog new because I have never seen it. You are lucky to have a blog because you can post all of your adventures on it and show who you are and want to be.

Dear Sydney,

I have not seen Shreck four, but I saw Iron Man two.

I also went to Palm Springs. I went mini golfing, swiming, playing giant checkers, observered birds and yelled at them, and saw flemingos.

I had a play date with three boys called Brandon, Eli, and Alex. I went putting with them, played hide-and-seek, played X Box 360, and wacthed You Tube.

I also had a Sleep over with a boy named Noah.
We played games on computer and X Box 360. We wacthed You Tube and went on bikes, skooters, aand ribsticks. Noah's dog brought a dead bird which didn't have a head! Naoh has one dog and three cats. When we left I saw mountains so high there was snow!

Sincerely,
Sam

Dear Sydney,

During our summer break I went to the same hotel. Did you go to Kidtopia?

I always love to go in the lazy river. Did you go on the water slides?

Sincerely,
Ben
