Weekend in Prescott

This last weekend we headed down to Prescott to hang out with some of our friends for one of the last times until they move. We headed down Friday night but before we got there, we stopped in Prescott Valley to say hi to my sister Christina. She hadn't actually met Kayton yet and we wanted to see where they lived. We stayed and played and chit chatted for about an hour and then we needed to be on our way. Thanks Christina!After we left, we got to Prescott about 20 min. later and then the fun began. We went to their house and the boys fired up the grill and cooked us some awesome steaks. After that, the boys decided to go see a movie and us girls had intentions of turning on a movie, but decided that whenever we do turn one on, we just end up turning it off because we would rather talk. So that's what we did. Girl talk is awesome.
The next day was the fun planned day. We woke up and had breakfast and then we went swimming! It was Kayton's second time swimming. He wasn't sure how he liked it at first but then he got back in again and had a lot of fun. He loved to splash the water with his hands. When he was done though, all I had to do was change his clothes and put him on my lap with a binky and a blanket and he was out like a rock, poor kid. The guys did contests to see who could get the best splash from doing canon balls and we definitely got a little sunburned. After we were all done, we headed back and got showered and ready for the day. By then, all the kids were down for naps and we just chilled for a little bit. We decided to go to dinner and go shopping and then head back home. We went as planned and then while we were at dinner, our friends family called them and said that there was a fire burning in Flagstaff not too far away from our apartments. We decided that with all the smoke and everything, it was best for us to just stay another night instead of coming home to all the smoke with the kids. Our friends, the Tuckers, were with us and she was pregnant and had been having contractions all weekend. Turns out Sunday morning was her lucky day. I woke up around 4:30 and heard her and her husband getting ready to leave to go to the hospital. An hour later, I got a text message saying the baby was here. I couldn't believe she has him so quickly. Everything worked out really well and their little boy is so cute.
So on Sunday, we spent the morning there and then found out the fire was pretty much contained, so we said our goodbye's and headed home. As we were leaving we could see smoke from Prescott and thought, wow, that fire is a lot bigger than they were making it sound. It turns out that another fire was started that morning and the smoke made it look like a volcano erupted or something. As of today it is now 50% contained, but it has definitely been an interesting weekend. We had a lot of fun in Prescott and hope that we can see everyone again before they move. Thanks for letting us come Hummels!
