We had been talking about whether or not we would go somewhere to get out of the heat since we were both off on the 4th of July (James started his new job today, on the 5th, yay! Hooray! So proud of him and hope he enjoys every moment of his first day!) and yesterday morning I told him how Prescott really likes to celebrate the 4th so we headed on up to the cooler temps, went to the Town Square where there was a huge Arts and Crafts show, food booths and best of all, grass and kids for Ben to play with. When we finished there we headed on out to the Fairgrounds to see if the festivities I read about online were happening but it was a ghost town, so we meandered up Mingus Mountain, through the pines and to Jerome (I scared James a little since he has been interested in this silly show "Ghost Hunters" and pointed out "The Asylum":-)) down the other side and stopped by Auntie and Uncle's house where Mom, Richard, Jenny and Mike were hanging out. Ben enjoyed the pool, sans clothes, with Grammy and when it started raining we all went under the deck and watched a beautiful Monsoon come through and cool us off. James loves Jerky from this little store in uptown called "World of Jerky" so we tried to get there before it closed but like Sedona does, they closed 10 minutes before the closing "time" so we went to get dinner, again closed before their "time" posted. Fortunately James made the great suggestion of Oak Creek Brewery in Tlaquepaque where we had burgers, beer and bangers and mash, a perfect end to a perfect day. This was by far one of the most fun 4th's I can remember, but everything is fun with my boys.
