This year for Spring Break, we decided we needed a little time away to spend time as a family. I cannot remember the last time our little family took a trip that was just for us; we were long overdue! We opted for a bit of a staycation, and it was perfect!
We spent a few days exploring Prescott and Jerome and then headed to
Out of Africa Wildlife Park.
In Jerome, we stopped at a large museum/ghost town (read: large, organized junk yard). There were a TON of old cars/trucks/buses and the kids LOVED it. Plus, the nice lady at the counter let us in for free 'cause she thought my kids were cute.
Brychan is still Jessa's favorite person most of the time. She begs him to hold her hand and walk with her. Not that it takes much begging to get him to do anything for her...
Another favorite was Pedro, the donkey. David fed Pedro a carrot with his mouth, so he got a nice little smooch.
We also spent a day at Lynx Lake. There was a stroller friendly hiking trail all the way around the lake, paddle boating, ducks to feed and David taught the boys to skip rocks.
Our last day of vacation we spent entirely at Out of Africa. It was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it to anybody who may be visiting from out of town. Or who lives "in town" and has never been. It was a full day of fun and we can't wait to go back. We got to get up close and personal with lots of animals and even got to feed a giraffe and a tiger. Kehlton also had fun with hyenas - they ran up and down the fence line with him for quite awhile.
After such a fun trip, it was hard to come home!
Hopefully our next family trip won't be so far distant!
