Tombstone

The week of fall break Jeremy came home from Alaska and for those of us tired of looking at the walls of the house (Jeremy would have preferred to stay with his sleep number bed). We took a much needed overnight break to Tombstone...maybe get a taste of the wild wild west. Well Terrilyn didn't appreciate the gun shows of the wild west, but I think they enjoyed walking around and seeing people all dressed up in the period clothing. Jeremy and I found that they had some neat things to see and do but we were disappointed to find that they all had there own price tag attatched and that if we wanted to see and do it all we could have spent a fortune. There was some stuff I would have liked to do but not with the kids like the tour of the mines(we didn't want to hike the trail and worrired that the kids wouldn't go into the tunnel once there. We decided that they would have been better off with a one price admission for everything.

However the kids enjoyed getting dressed up for an old fashioned photo. It was nice to get away and the kids enjoyed the time spent with dad.

Voting Wisdom from a Kindergartner

Last night we were in the car driving home and Cameron precedes to discuss who we can and can't talk to about our vote.
Cameron: "Mom, I can tell who I vote for because your my mom your my family, I can't tell my friends who I voted for"
Me: "What are you talking about?"
Cameron: "Mom I learned this in school from my teacher she taught us this after we voted today"
Me: "Oh, well yes you can tell me who you voted for, so who are you going to be voting for?"
Cameron: "Mom, can I vote for George Washington? That's who I'm voting for."
Me: laughing "Honey no you can't vote for George Washington he has already been the president and he is dead."
Come to find out that they had let the kids do a mock voting on the computers at school and his teacher must have gotten tired of the bickering that was happening between the students about who they were voting for. Seriously I had no idea that kindergartners were so outspoken with there political views.

I promise that when I get a chance I will upload my pictures from Tombstone and Halloween...they are coming :)
