Willem was on Fall Break this week so we decided to take a road trip up to Prescott for the day. I was hoping the kids would get to see the leaves changing colors and have a chance to spend a day in a town that was actually experiencing fall. It was actually still pretty toasty up in Prescott as well but we did see the beginnings of beautiful foliage. And most importantly, we got to spend the day with my wonderful brother and Dad.
The kids were pretty excited to have Jayme along for the road trip and Jayme was a trooper sitting in the back with them. The kids have little sense of personal boundaries and thought all of Jayme's things were their new toys.

Jayme knew of an area just south of town that had a nice lake so we stopped there to let the kids run around a bit.
The kids enjoyed watching people fish and made friends with a family whose kids were catching tadpoles in the water. They let Willem take a turn with their net and he was thrilled. We lifted up rocks in hopes of finding something but mostly just enjoyed playing in the water. Ellie loved throwing rocks in and watching the ripple effect. Definitely want to come back here with Jason sometime!
We then headed into town and had lunch in the old downtown area. We fell upon this neat bookstore and picked up a copy of the original Winnie the Pooh story. We just finished Charlottes Web so it was perfect timing to find a new book to read.
The kids could have played in the town square all day.
