Spring Break

For Spring Break we headed on down to Benson! I know, sounds fascinating! But Aiden has been studying stalactites and stalagmites in school so Bret wanted to take him to Kartchner Caverns. No pictures were allowed, so this is all we got:


It was an awesome sight though. If I had to do it all over again, I would have waited until Mabel and Gray were older. Mabel was scared. Grayson was stressed about not being able to touch ANYTHING! And I was stressed about having a bunch of kids in a place where they're not able to touch ANYTHING! But it was still pretty cool to see.


The next day we headed on down to Tombstone. We checked out the museum...










Checked out the reenactment of the shootout at the OK Corral...








And took a stage coach tour around the town.




On the way back home, we stopped in Coolidge to visit Gram and Gramp Yellow. Mabel and Gray were excited to show them their merchandise from the gift shops.


Gray got a cap gun.


Mabel got a stick horse.


Aiden got a stuffed scorpion but we didn't get any pics.


When we asked them what their favorite part was about the trip, here were their responses:

Mabel: The gun show with real people. (She likes to show people how she responded to the sound of the gunfire.)

Gray: The gift shops

Aiden: The gift shops


So basically, we could have taken them all to Wal-mart to pick out a toy and Aiden and Gray would have been just as happy!
