Groom Creek Vacation

For part of October break we went to Groom Creek (just outside of Prescott) to enjoy some time at the Roberts cabin.

The first day we had a picnic at the lake nearby

 

We took advantage of the scenery and made the kids pose for some pictures

 

 

 

Dallin insisted on doing a “fighting pose”

The lake has a little park to enjoy

 

 

One of my favorite parts of our vacation was the family walks that we took each day.  We took a different route around the neighborhood each time.  It was so much fun admiring all of the fancy cabins/homes and imagining that they were ours. :)  On one of our evening walks, we saw several deer.  We just stopped and watched them.  A couple of them saw us and ran off.  The other deer saw that the others were running off and started running too except they ran a different direction and didn’t realize they were running straight for us.  They noticed us when they were about 20 feet in front of us and quickly switched directions.  Too bad we didn’t have our camera. 

 

 

We love all of the big boulders in Groom Creek

 

A vacation is not a vacation without playing games together

 

Parker & Dallin created their own little clubhouse.

 

One of our favorite things to do at the Roberts cabin is to browse the antique shops in Prescott.  So much fun! We took the kids to Golden Corral (all you can eat buffet) for lunch.  Dallin’s eyes lit up when I told him that he could have as much dessert as he wanted! I’m pretty safe in telling my kids that because none of them can manage eating a whole lot of sweets at once.  Dallin first chose a chocolate cupcake.  After he was done, he was ready for more dessert.  With all of the available desserts, He came back with ANOTHER chocolate cupcake.  However, he ate a little frosting off the top of 2nd cupcake and that was enough dessert for him.

 

Now me on the other hand…I know how to eat desserts at an all you can eat buffet.  You have a little bit of everything!! Stan caught me in the act! Ya, I felt a bit sick afterwards, but hey…it was worth it!

 

We didn’t believe the kids when they told us that our neighbors had a javelina in their back yard

 

I loved this self-portrait that Cassie took

 

Dallin loved the newly built park just down the street from the cabin

 

 

 

I love my little family! What a great vacation it was!
