This year we went to Tombstone with Grandma and Grandpa. The kids and I had never been there so we were excited to check it out.
It really is amazing. The buildings are the same as they were hundreds of years ago.
Ah, Gun Fight at the OK Corral!
We watched a reenactment of the gunfight that Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday participated in. They came out unharmed. We even got to see the exact location of where the fight happened. It was pretty cool.
Here are the kids with the Cowboys-The McLaurys.
And here they are with Doc Holiday and the Earp brothers Wyatt and Virgil.
This was the actual site of the fight. The men are positioned as they were in the fight as well. They were only like 6 feet apart and they fired more than 30 times in 30 seconds!!
Great photo of the kids in a vehicle of the times! 1881!
The kids even got to shoot some guns, sure they were paint guns but it was a lot of fun!
David and Megan wanted to go on this tour so the three of us went. If you know Megan she is a fraidy cat!! David and I had a blast watching her get more bugged out by the minute. As we ended the tour we walked into an area and there was a woman in white floating around and Megan bolted! It took her by surprise and she literally RAN the rest of the way out. David and I were laughing so hard. The lady that worked there said she had never seen anyone get that scared and run out like that. Not only did Megan run the rest of the way out of the tour, but she literally ran right out the door into the street!!
On of the best parts of going to Tombstone was getting this photo taken. Grandma Ginny and I really wanted to do the photo, but we were worried that the kids would be bored. Fear not, they had a blast getting dressed up with holsters. Even Grandpa Bob enjoyed doing the picture!! All of us are holding real rifles and shot guns. We each got 2 guns to hold. We are a pretty bad ass family:)
