Tombstone

Bird Cage Theatre - the famous or "infamous" saloon. We got to see authentic bullet holes, the "bedrooms" (or "give the guys a good time" rooms) which was totally legal back then... gross. They didn't call it the Wild Wild West for nothing! :)


My Little Cowboy

Show Daddy how it's done, Trey!

One of the last remaining Cowboys of Tombstone! :)

How freakin' cool to be in the spot where Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday stood! Linda (Brent's mom) always teased Trey that when he moved to Tucson he was giong to turn into a cowboy. Trey denied it, and denied it until we went to Tombstone and then he thought it was COOL to be a cowboy! We had to buy him the a cowboy hat & gun so he could play the part in Tombstone! The main road is still unpaved and everyone that works there still dresses the part. We got to check out a gun show at OK Corral to show how the gunfight went down with the Earps and the rebels. We'll never know who really started it, but it was neat to see the reinactment! Trey had fun trying to rope a calf and checking out all the "cowboy stuff"!

Thanks again for Ken and Linda for coming down to see us and spending some memorable moments with us! We Love You!

Bisbee

Bisbee is an old mining town located in the mountains, about 2 hours southeast of us. It has a Park City feel to it. We only spent a few hours there because we were anxious to get to Tombstone. We'll definately have to go back and spend a whole day there! Trey loved playing in the old mining wagons/trains (is that what they are called?)

Old Tucson Studios

China Alley

Linda gettin' her "groove" on! :)

This is an active Hollywood set where MANY westerns have been filmed... all the old John Wayne movies, and others like the Three Amigos, Young Guns series, Tombstone, etc... Trey loved the stunt/gun shows at the "Alamo" and the reinactment of Billy the Kid's escape. It was fun to check out all the sets and we really felt like we were in the Wild Wild West!

San Xavier del Bac Mission

Trey's favorite Cactus!

This is said to be the oldest mission/cathedral in the United States. It is located only about 40 minutes from us. It was beautifully designed and such a gorgeous peice of history. We were excited to see Tucson had some interesting places to check out!

Easter Egg Hunt

We went to our ward Easter Egg Hunt at the Rustand's house. Ken and Linda were able to go with us as well. It was INSANE weather... raining most of the day but luckily it cleared up for about an hour just in time for the kids to search for the eggs! Then, out of nowhere it started HAILING! And not just a little bit, we're talking huge pellets! Trey loved walking around with my umbrella in the hail, probably the highlight of the hunt!
