7:15am and still WIDE AWAKE!
Right after take off, she fell asleep....for only 25 minutes!! She was up the rest of the 4 hour flight. Thank god we had the seat empty next to us for her to "play"! Marianna loved looking out the window especially as we were getting ready to land!
The first day in Palm Springs, Marianna spent a lot of time exploring her new home. We were a little nervous about the two steps down to the sunken family room since Marianna was heading down stairs head first at the time. However, after a few nasty falls, she realized that she got less hurt by turning around and heading down backwards (she was a fast learner!). She is still going down properly at home, too, which has been great!
Marianna had a ball with her two cousins, Shannon and Jack. Here they are playing in the fountain on El Paseo drive. Marianna is so curious about touching and splashing water..especially water fountains! We could burn at least a 20 minutes of time at a fountain...
DJ, my dad, and Adam played a round of golf on the first day and we were ready to watch them from the villa as they played the hotel course..

Marianna loved looking off the patio. You will see several pictures of her here. She was watching DJ's second shot off the tee here...
...what a follow through!

In the morning, we would usually head out for a walk. The sun is pretty low and in the direction we were headed, the sun would be directly in Marianna's eyes. We had to take this picture of her with her baby "shades" on. She looked hilariously and surprisingly kept them on!
After bathing Marianna in sunscreen and putting the sunglasses on, she fell asleep and the sunglasses (which ended up getting sunscreen on them also), found their way into her eyes:( We had to retreat back to the villa to wash her eyes out in the bath (they were so red, puffy, and tearing...i felt horrible! lesson learned!!)
Finally, here we are getting out to the pool on day two (one of the only days I brought my camera).
Here is "Mariannita" (little Marianna in Spanish as we learned at the Mexican restaurant we went to Monday night!). She was a water bug... Marianna loved floating around the pool in her little "boat". She is tall enough for the kiddie pool that her feet would touch the bottom of the pool and she could maneuver around.
All the kids at the pool loved Marianna! They would all take turns pushing her around and she kind of became the pool mascot. Here she is being pushed by her cousin, Shannon and a friend we met there, Madelyn (who was with us everyday until we left!)
Jack loved the camera..therefore I loved Jack!!!
Her is my niece Shannon...she was such a big help!!
Marianna loved being outside, too! After getting out from the pool, we would just put down some towels, toys and Cheerios...she would play and let us soak up the sun!

Shannon is showing Marianna a little barking dog she got at the dessert fair. Marianna loved it!!
