It's never a good thing...

...when your husband sends you an email with the following subject:

In case we get lost; here's a picture of us...

What?!  The husband and son woke up super early this morning to head out to Prescott (Goldwater Lake), to get some fishing time in. This is the first time they have ever gone fishing alone. I am so thankful that they are starting to do things like this - it only took 14 years!  We are certainly in a different place in life - we are able to do more and enjoy more.

Oh... here's that picture:

Father's Day 2010

We had a fabulous Father's Day weekend.  It started off on Friday, we took the kids to go see Toy Story 3.  It was a fantastic movie; we laughed, we cried, we didn't want it to end. After the movie, we went to Peter Piper Pizza. I used to be a huge fan of PPP, but it seems they changed their pizza a little. :(

On Saturday, we went up to Woods Canyon Lake (it's a little past Christopher Creek). My parents were already up North for their anniversary trip (37 years!), so we had them meet up by the lake. We packed picnic lunches and all of our fishing gear!  The weather was perfect and we have a great time taking care of the husband and my own dad.

  

Finally, on Sunday, the kids and I decorated our dining room and wrapped all of the husband's presents. The husband was truly spoiled this year. He received the new Droid phone (well, it's on back order until July 17), a Senseo coffee maker, a salad kit container, a bag of his favorite candy, a #1 Dad trophy, and some great cards. He was able to get off of work earlier than usual - and he came home to find all of this laid out for him. After a dinner of Roasted Chicken Salad and corn-on-the cob, we fed him some cupcakes that we made.   After we cleaned up, we all went for a swim until it got dark.  It was just beautiful outside!

What a wonderful weekend. The husband is truly a great father... and we truly enjoyed making his weekend special!

Prescott Perfection

Yep... Welcome to Prescott. What a beautiful town. I have been before, but when I was still in pigtails. So, everything was pretty much new to me. The Victorian houses were to die for, the people were so friendly, and the weather was perfect. And here I thought I would have to move across the country to get those things; I could move 2 hours NW and bamm... right in the middle of perfect!

Take a gander at a sampling of the pictures I snapped during our day trip.

The best $2.96 ever spent at Wal-Mart. The worms kept Nic happy the entire time!

This was at a scenic stop on the way to Prescott... Look at those clouds!

I think I took well over 200 pictures in all. You can find the rest here.

We had such a fun trip. Prescott is a lovely place - The husband and I are already planning a return trip, without the kids!

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to Prescott we go!

We are going on a day trip! And while it will take take two hours to get to Prescott... the weather will be worth it. It's supposed to be over 100 degrees here in the Valley... but only 81 degrees in Prescott.

Lovely!

We stopped by Wal-Mart last night and picked up some fishing poles for the kids...and some refrigerated live worms.

Wish me luck with that! :)
