Another Day...Another Trip to Tombstone

During Brenda and Steve's visit, we spent a day in Tombstone. Each time we go, we find something new and interesting to do there. This time we took a horse-drawn carriage ride and visited the Boothill Graveyard, where some members of the Clanton gang (who were shot by the Earps during the O.K. Corral gunfight) are buried. It was intriguing to see how some of the other Tombstone residents had died....i.e. in a stampede, by Indians, and many were shot over small disbutes over such things as love quarrels over women, how to drive cattle and even over a card game. Jason also bought Carson a play gun, so Carson had fun pretending to be a real cowboy.....now he just needs some boots and a hat. Here are a few pictures from the day.
