With the 2019 Stagecoach line up just announced, it had me reminiscing when the girls and I went in 2016. The idea started with a friend’s mom saying she was going to this country festival in the dessert and has a couple extra spots in her trailer. Well one thing led to another and 4 of us girls took a moms trip to Indio, California for a trip of a lifetime.
My wristband came in the mail and the countdown was on!
We arrived to Indio the night before, got a good night rest and were ready for day 1.
So excited to be at Stagecoach!
We dropped off our stuff off, walked around, did some activities and visited a few booths.
Unfortunately we never got to ride the Ferris wheel.
Our chair crew!
The roomies!
I love a good sunset, but the sunset in the dessert is just majestic.
It was getting dark and time for the headliners to begin. Here’s the line up.
It was getting cold and windy. So Nic and I grabbed our bandanas to keep the dust away.
Snoop dog came out as a surprise guest.
Day 2
Here’s to another day of country music and cowboy boots!
While taking a picture under the Stagecoach frame, a group of guys snuck in our picture.
We walked around a bit and checked out a couple of stages.
It was getting dark so we headed back to our chairs for the headliners to begin. Here’s the line up.
I finally found the churro cart. It was worth every bite!!
Day 3
We started everyday with dropping off our backpack chairs. These chairs were super helpful during the weekend.
Adding more wristbands to our arm party!
Remember when I said the dessert sunsets were beautiful, well the random rainbow was just magical. It came out of nowhere!
There were lot’s of random pieces of oversized art throughout the festival. I loved checking out all the pieces.
Ready for the headliners to begin! Here’s the line up.
I had such a fun experience! Can’t wait to go back!
Next up was the reptile tent. Parrots, snakes, spiders, tortoise and so much more. 
It was 94 degrees and we were all ready for a much needed break. We checked out the Outshine truck for some free Popsicles. Hubby got the watermelon while the rest of us got different flavors. 
The kids had fun riding ponies and cuddling with the bunnies in the petting zoo. Sarah could have stayed with the animals for hours!!
They had so many areas set up for kids. We had lots of fun in the bubble area.
We walked around some more, spotted a professional watermelon carving booth and tasted the new Coffee Mate Cold Brew. 
We left home with a big bag of watermelon popcorn and happy memories of our family fun day!
We recently went to the California Science Center in LA with Sarah’s friend Kallista from school.
This shadow exhibit was lot’s of fun. The kids had to try and beat the tiger.
Time for the earthquake exhibit. Eek so scary! 
My favorite exhibit has to be, the Endeavour. I remember watching the Endeavour on TV as it got pulled around LA. It’s so big, so amazing and so very cool. To think this was in space, but really only a spec in satellites is mind blowing. 
Imagine millions of those carpet tiles you see in doctors offices, but instead heat shield tiles that cover the space shuttle. This thing is just so massive! 
Just ONE of the huge rocket engines!! It was huge!!!!
It’s a good day to wear your space shirt!
Next up was the External Tank. The only part of the shuttle stack that isn’t reusable, the external tank carried the propellants to power the space shuttle main engines. 
Our cuties!
This museum is free, but has a few exhibits that are additional. We prepaid for the Pandas 3D movie for 2pm, but once inside we were so busy that the extra movie was not necessary. However it was a nice 30 minute break. 
Our final stop was the touch tanks. Sarah loves this part! Jacob, not so much.
