Hello Everyone,
We are getting a few more comments, but would still like to hear some more! Don't forget to take the Pie Poll, only 6 days left! Yesterday we got into Dodge City, Kansas, used to be called "The Wickedest Little City in America." There used to be 'killin's daily, and all the other stuff the Wild West is known for. We went to historic Boot Hill, and if any of you homeschoolers know your history, it's where people were buried after the gunfights with their boots still on, hence the name. We walked through the old, restored buildings: saloons (surprise, surprise), the jail, a church, a blacksmith's shop, and a barber shop which also operated as a dentist (yuck!). We also saw exhibits such as Native Americans of the Plains, Victorian Fashion and even got to see parts of Gunsmoke episodes, if any of the parents remember that! Wow, what an evening! We also got to witness a gunfight, yep, a real live gunfight. Here are some of the pictures we took, enjoy!

Finally had a chance to visit. Glad the flat didn't cause a major delay. Sounds like you're having a great trip.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying following you on your trip out west. As one friend said to us when we were telling about some of your RV experiences, "Welcome to RV-ing." Some of the problem experiences will be the ones you laugh the most about about after you get home. We miss you and pray for your safety....
ReplyDeleteOk. I think I know why you don't get more comments. Google is driving me google-eyed-insane!! This is my 4th attempt. (I wonder how much is user error?) LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sounds like y'all are still having a great time! A question for your next blog - how is it going living in extremely close quarters with a large family for an extended period of time? What are the biggest challenges?
Did you take any pictures of the Victorian clothing exhibit? That would have been one of my favorites!
Have a great day!

Silly me.....since I get the email updates, not thinking, I have been replying with comments there :):). So I guess ya'll haven't seen any comments Chloe and I have been making ?? We are LOVING your blog, and wishing we were following along in a motor home behind you :). So in this gun fight, did someone really get shot ? Did they bury him with his boots on ?
ReplyDeleteIt was a reenactment, so he did "get shot" but came back for a final bow.
ReplyDeleteGuns, hmm, sounds interesting. What kind of guns? Pistols I assume. Wish I was there.
ReplyDeleteYes Jordan, they were pistols.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have been trying to post comments unsuccessfully. My son finally figured it out for me. I have been enjoying your blog and look forward to new postings. I just wanted to say that is isn't really a contest if chocolate is one of the contestants :)
