This Monday we headed over to Palm Springs. The day before we had been talking about hikes with a family friend and she recommended the Palm Springs hiking trails which sounded like a good little outing.
I just love the way Lilah smiles at me.
We got there a little bit later than I had hoped so we were able to do as many trails. The canyon was beautiful in a very Indian/Palm springs way with lots of palm trees and desert flowers.
Since we have had a lot of rain, the streams were full and the water flowed through the rocks. I usually love hiking but this time we were more careful because I had Lilah on a sling. This chick didn't want to be in her baby carrier because that meant she couldn't look around. She is such a curious girl!
After a while she decided she didn't want to be in the sling either because she wanted to be moving around. Man she is going to be one curious girl once she can walk!
It was a bit warm. Mike and I tried to keep Lilah as covered as possible. We could've walked deeper into the canyon but I was worried Lilah would get too hot. Maybe next time we can come earlier and explore some other parts of the canyon.
The palm trees were ginormous! I tried to imagine the Indian women with their babies probably strapped the way I had Lilah. Walking around, working, with the older kids playing in the water during the hot days. With all of the commodities that I have, I'm in awe at how hard women used to work for their families making meals and walking miles to get water.
I guess if we didn't know any better we'd be doing just the same.
I sneaked this picture of Mike and Lilah. Loved the little moment these two were having.
Love you my sweet girl, I can't wait to make so many memories with you!
