It’s the Wild West!

Written by Heather Haupt 4 Comments

We live in the wild west, so we decided to embrace it this weekend!  My parents surprised our little birthday man with a trip to Goldfield Ghost Town. 

We took friends there back in November and the boys were disappointed that their was no ‘gun fight’ that day.  They are disappointed no more.  Our ears are ringing and boys are beaming.

And so, I keep counting my way to 1,000!

904. beautiful Spring weather.
905. boys in cowboy hats, slinging plastic pistols.
906. getting a feel for Jail life in the wild west.
907. a little girl who snoozes away on my chest while we walk dusty paths and explore old gold mines!
908. chiropractic care that enabled us to solve most of her food-related and all of the colic issues so we can all enjoy outings like this, tear free!
909. a mother-in-law who gave us the nudge we needed to seek out this alternative care.
910. front row seats to the action of a shoot-out on main street!
911. old cowboys eager to talk with young cowboy impersonators.
912. laughing at how my dad maneuvered Trey into a picture with one of the cowboys.  His expression is priceless.
913. a husband who lugs the diaper bag around for the day.
914. memories made with grandparents
915. tired, but content boys.
