Prescott AZ

We spent two weeks in Prescott AZ. Prescott Is known for its Dells, which are large bumpy shaped boulders. We stayed at Willow Lake Campground which is right next to these Dells. We enjoyed hiking in the Dells and looking out over them at the blue lake below.

 We walked around down town Prescott and checked out the old Western Stores.  One of the days we were there ,there was an art show going on downtown and we walked around and checked out the different vendors. We also stopped in the candy store and got a huge chocolate chip cookie for the kids.  Down Town has a street Called Whiskey Row and on this street are many old saloons. “ The Palace” Saloon is the most famous bar in Arizona and is known for its popular visitors such as Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp and Doc Holiday. 

 We spent an afternoon Kayaking on a small lake in town called Goldwater. Large Pine trees surrounded it and it was nice and peaceful.

 

One evening we meet up with Wes’ cousin Peter Hall who was living in Prescott and was about to make a move to southern AZ. We had dinner with him at Baja Fresh. 

Sedona 

We took a day trip into Sedona and walked around the down town center. The red rock formations were beautiful. We all were hungry after the hour and a half drive there so we searched out an affordable restaurant. We found this cute little restaurant that had a beautiful garden all decorated with low string lights. Each chair had a Mexican blanket on it to cuddle up in while you ate your brunch. 

Our favorite part of being in Prescott was that since we were there for a couple weeks we had the weekend to spend in the community. Usually we are traveling on a Saturday. One of the Saturdays we were in Prescott we were able to serve with the local church pulling weeds at a women’s shelter down town. We all loved being able to serve together again.

Lacey found a Toad on the hike

Another afternoon we went on a hike to ‘Thumb Butte” . It is a popular land mark in town.  At the top of the mountain Collin spotted a large snake. We watched it dig its hole in the ground from a safe distance, then carefully went around it.

Ally and Shelby spent several days at the Library doing their schoolwork and finishing up their school year strong! 

Ace-ing both of their online finals! Summer is officially upon us.

We were planning on staying in Prescott for three weeks, but on Sunday morning as we were getting ready for church there was a sewage leak in the RV Park and it  happened to be right next to our RV. DISGUSTING! So we decided to leave to California a week early. No complaining about that ;-)
