Pine-filled Prescott








Adam is officially one quarter of the way closer to being a podiatrist. Can you believe it? We are nearing the point where we cannot see the light beaming from the entrance of the tunnel. To celebrate such a momentous occasion, we spent an incredibly beautiful day up in Prescott, Arizona. Amazingly enough, it wasn't too far of a drive and we were free from cactus covered hills. Honestly, there is nothing better than pine saturated mountains with scattered oak trees. Brilliant yellow leaves spotted the green slopes. It was spectacular. We were in heaven! In addition to celebration of finals being over, we really wanted to adventure out with the newest addition to our family, Scout. She is a 9-week-old Mini Australian Shepherd who seriously has stolen our hearts. Her striking appearance caught our attention from the get go, but since then her puppy energy and sparkling personality has truly made it feel like she was meant for us. She marched up the trail behind Adam as if she was part of his shadow. Surprisingly enough, she made it about a little more than two miles up the trail before she tuckered out and luxuriously rode back in the backpack. The best part about it was watching Adam's reaction when we found a patch of snow and Scout dove right in as if she were a little polar bear. He was beaming from ear to ear. We have a little snow lover. She must have Wood blood in her.
