Old West Fun in Tombstone

Until today, we had never taken the kids down to soak up all the gun battle and saloon history in Tombstone.

The kids both list the gun fight as their favorite part of the day. One of the actors was the same as when Tim and I saw the show 16 years ago! 

Visiting the gallows. The song "The Long Black Veil" is a favorite of Matilda's, so she was interested to see some real gallows.

Soon after we took this picture at the Boot Hill Cemetery, the sun started a beautiful sunset. We watched it turn the sky many orange and pink shades, with mountains silhouetted in the distance. A perfect desert vista to wrap up the day.
