Beat the heat and get out of town

This is one of the best 4th of July's we've had in a while......what to do in Phoenix except sit in the 115 degree weather and try to enjoy the fireworks....we said No thanks this year and got out of town. We went to Prescott Arizona which isn't a whole lot cooler but at least you can sit outside and not sweat your a** off!! We camped in our motor home at White Spar Campground.....Fortunately we found a spot after searching 3 other campgrounds. Our dearest friends came up from Phoenix and we enjoyed walking around downtown watching a parade and shopping at the arts festivals. We have some friends that live up there so we all enjoyed a BBQ at our campsite that evening.
A local park had a firework show and that's where we sat from about 5pm -10pm just waiting and of course chasing Ashlee around because she wanted to do everything all the big kids were doing and with me being a kinda "paranoid" mom it wasn't going over with me :) We eventually got our thunderstorm we were waiting for...just really bad timing on it's part, needless to say we were all soaking wet when it was over. I wish I had a picture of us just sitting there under our blankets but we were too busy trying to stay dry.
So here we sit back in the heat missing eating our meals outside, Ashlee getting to wonder around and be a kid, the dogs actually able to run around outside and just being on what we consider a "vacation"
