We have lived in Prescott Valley now a little over 2 months, and I'm sure that we made a great decision about coming here (see this link). We are still having fun exploring the area, trying out new things, and discovering our favorite places to go. Just check out all the fun stuff we've discovered!
1. The new Prescott Valley public library. That place is really cool! Our kids really enjoy story time...and I think the juvenile book selection is great (it's where I spend all my library time). Their kids DVD selection is huge (and you can check out the DVDs for 3 weeks!). Dr. Rob has browsed the adult books, audio books, and DVDs more...he always has something checked out.
2. One of our first outings was to Lynx Lake. We parked at the south docking area and the kids had fun throwing rocks into the lake. We have also discovered a few trails there, including Lynx Creek Ruin trail (it ends at a site of ancient ruins). And the Peavine trail is a great place for a winter afternoon run/jog/bike ride.
3. Who can resist bouldering the rocks at Watson Lake? We sure couldn't!
4. Since our kids are animal lovers, we just had to get a pass to Heritage Park Zoo (that pass will get us discounts to the zoo in Pheonix, too). Of course, it's nothing compared to the St. Louis Zoo (we will always miss that). But the kids still love seeing a peacock running around, the tiger close up, the javelina (although we've seen them plenty of times in a neighbor's yard), the tarantella cave, and the reptile house.
5. Last week I attended a Neighborhood Cafe meeting hosted by PV city officials, including the mayor. I listened intently to the water official, the chief of police, and the judge about what they are doing to improve our community. When I left, I felt like there are a lot of people who care a lot about this place.
We're gonna really like it here.
I think we already do.

I wish we could enjoy more outdoor weather like that here. Can't wait to visit!
