While in Tucson for the weekend, we drove to the infamous Tombstone. The boys got to pan for gold (or marbles in this case).
We watched a Wild West Show. The lack of crowds in the audience should have given us a clue. It was supposed to be a cowboy show with tricks, roping and riding. We did see a stuffed frog ride a dog and their big trick was getting a horse to lay down. Yes, it was exciting.
Plenty of photo opportunities in this "town too tough to die."
The historic Allen Street where gunfight shows played out all day.
The most famous site of Tombstone is the OK Corral.
We went to a show where they reenact the shoot out with Wyatt Earp, his brothers and some outlaws.
I think everyone liked the mine tour the best. We went into a silver mine and learned how silver is processed from ore to shiny stuff.
Funny picture-- are they just staring at rocks?
We found this gazebo where I gave my rendition of hopping around the benches singing, "I am 16 going on 17." It was impressive.
Our last stop before heading out of town and being questioned by border patrol to see if we are all American citizens. Now that's exciting. Fun day in the wild west.
