Spring Break Part 3: Tombstone and The O.K. Corral

Lee flew in really late Friday night. He was supposed to get in around dinnertime, but the winter storm in Denver held him up until almost midnight. Even with the major lack of sleep, he joined us for our fun activities on Saturday. We spent the day in Tombstone, which is popular for the shootout at the O.K. Corral. I will admit that I was not familiar with this part of history, but I am now quite fascinated with it after visiting the town.

The girls had lots of fun pretending to ride in the buggies.

Brynne even convinced Mommy and Daddy to join her for a quick picture on a buggy. :)Brynne also discovered a pony and discovered that Grammy Lo was willing to put in a few quarters for her to ride it.

It turns out Tombstone has other neat things (in addition to being known for the gun fight), including the world's largest rose bush. You can see it in the background of this picture -- Lee, Brynne, Lo, Morgan, and Trout.

We got a chance to ride on a stagecoach ride through town, which the girls loved. Here are Lee and Brynne peaking out the window of the stagecoach.

And here's another one of the stagecoach. If you look closely, you can see Morgan, Hilary & Lee.

We walked around the town a bit and found some fancy decorating. Too bad this potty wasn't available for public use...

...but never fear, we found Lee another place to go potty! :)

We had a really fun time in Tucson. We got to see lots of things and get to know a little about the area. Turns out I was pretty clueless (surprising, I know)! We're very grateful to Trout and Lo for taking us to all the fun places. Next time we'll have to make our visit a bit longer...

Lee was able to drive home to Utah with us on Sunday and Monday. We stayed the night on Sunday with my long-lost-friend Christine Shroeder Jensen. I really enjoyed visiting with her again! And it was lots of fun to get home and see some progress on our yard (see previous posts). It was a long trip, but one we definitely enjoyed. Now the only thing left is to get our bodies back on a regular schedule...
