Our pastor recently told us about a woman (Tiffany) who had, tragically, lost her boyfriend in the Yarnell fire. She is due within the next few months with her first baby; a girl! I can't even begin to imagine how she feels, she must be feeling so many different emotions right now. It breaks my heart! Our neighborhood group wanted to bless her, so we collected baby girl items and gift cards for her at our Church, Imago Dei. Today we set out with another couple and their kiddos to deliver the items to her friend (Tiffany was feeling very overwhelmed/busy, so her friend who coordinated it all felt it would be best to meet with her, and then she would give the items to Tiffany for us). We decided to make a day of it, and had a great time!
After delivering the gifts, we headed to the Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary. A sweet woman in a group I am on had given us a groupon that got all of the kids in free (even our friends two boys), plus David and I. We had a picnic lunch there, walked around and enjoyed all the animals, played in the sand, and really enjoyed ourselves!
All 3 kiddos fell asleep in the car on the way home, so I carried them in to bed. They had a blast, and it was great to escape for the day. Poor Davids had a reallllly rough two weeks at work, and even he was smiling :). I hope you all had a wonderful day as well!

Next we went to downtown Prescott and spent some time walking around. We had a yummy dinner at a great place called The Raven. They use a bunch of organic, locally-sourced ingredients and had really good food. After that we walked to a little brewery for a locally made beer, then we were off to the ice cream shop for some homemade ice cream. We took the ice cream across the street, where they had a live band playing in the center of town, and enjoyed eating while we listened to the music. There was, of course, lots of dancing by the kiddos :).
Ramya is a HUGE ice cream fan... smart girl!
(please excuse the fact that my flash was off, but her smile lights up my camera without it, just be patient :))

It sounds like a wonderful day! Glad your family got to enjoy themselves. I have been reading your blog and think you have an amazing family. Tell ramya that icecream and dancing are two of my favorite things. I often take zumba classes at the gym. Take ccare. Katie.
