Quick trip to the desert

Just after Easter we made a family trip to see Grandma in the desert for a few days. It wasn't a planned trip but I'm glad we made it. We drove in the evening so, by the time we got there the kids were hungry for dinner. We thought we'd find a Denny's or something relatively inexpensive but as we drove down highway 111 I began to remember all of the great places that were around then, we came upon a new shopping and dining spot called "The River" ooo it's fabulous and my husband saw the Cheesecake Factory and it was allover with after that. We just had to go there for dinner...What happened to Denny's?

 On our way out they had to stop and pretend to shoot this Giant pig statue in front of a BBQ resteraunt

The next day the kids were up bright and early and ready for some pool time and Daddy, well he was just ready for naptime.

 Here is where the story takes a turn. There are no more pictures because Grandma got really sick at dinner and had to be taken to the hospital where she stayed for a week. We later found out that she had a heart attack as recently as 2 weeks before but, didn't even know it. She was just extremely tired and didn't really get out of bed. Her legs were so swollen that we basically told her she needed to go to the hospital and she didn't resist. She knew she needed to go.
 She ended up having an angiogram and had stints put in. She is doing well now but, I'm just glad we were there when we were. You never know what curve ball life is going to throw your way. You just hope that you're doing the right thing when it happens. I just felt the need to go after speaking with my Aunt the day before we left. She had mentioned how grandma wasn't feeling so hot and wasn't wanting to get out of bed...well you would too if you had just had a heart attack. If you have a feeling that you should be doing something and can't get rid of that feeling then, you better know that that is God leading you and you better follow. I did and I'm glad I did.
 We will make another trip when school is out and this time we'll have more picks including a healthier grandma!
