Hanukkah in Palm Springs

Our vacation started with a hike. Teri and Ben showed us their favorit spot in the desert.
We hiked up to a beautiful lookout to see the San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountains after the storm passed.
The desert had a little flood but the creek Teri walked us to dissapeared. When it's flooding, creeks are usually running more. This one must have ran so fast it ran away from it's bed. It took the bridge with it too.
No kidding. Teri said there was a bridge and a creek and we couldn't find either of them.
???

At least the mountains were still there and what a view!

After the hike, we moved into Teri's house. I had to get away from the cold and the snow and the mud. That's not for grandmas. Grandmas like country clubs and knitting in the sunshine.
Buck and Spitz didn't mind soaking up the sun, laying around Ben's pool, sniffing up his yard, sharing his toys and looking for things that Ben was hiding.
Buck found a flat and dirty rawhide that was burried for a long time. He brought it to show me it and I was very proud of him :)
Spitzers found the rawhide Ben left for him. It wasn't hard to find, since it was in the middle of the yard, but he was not certain that he can chew it. When he found out that he can have it, he spent most of the day happily chewing it.



















Buck is waiting patiently until Spitz is ready to share.



Thank you Teri for showing me what a darn good idea it is to have a home in the mountains and one in the desert.
