Family trip to.....

For those of you that are like me, and didn't realize that many of the cowboy movies, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, etc are actually based on real people and events that happened in this funny and cute little town....This was heaven for a boy that grew up loving cowboys (and still does) and fun for those of us that like history...

We saw almost everything that they had to see...we spent a day and a half, it was fun. This graveyard is crazy. It is mostly crosses but they all say how the person was killed or who did it. Ex: ED Smart, hung because he killed a man or Bob Joe, killed by Sam Bob in a gun fight....It was the real graveyard from the 1800's, but the grave crosses have been repainted. They didn't dig the graves deep back then, so they were all just piles of rocks. They call it Boot Hill Graveyard because so many people were dying that they didn't have time to take their boots off.
I love this picture.....Max was tired of pictures but still cooperative.

This was after one of the shows with the cowboys that stared in it.
Have I ever mentioned that Max loves his belly button and he plays with it when he gets nervous. Brian calls it his nervous button. I am not sure if he was nervous here or it just seemed like a fun way to take a picture. He now says "cheese" when we tell him to smile. Of course we love it, because he is FINALLY TALKING.
Here we all are

So this famous shoot out at the OK Corral happened right here... we watched a play of it and walked through where it really happened. This was a fun few days. It is where we went to get away after midterms. Not that we needed a reason to play!
