Calico Ghost Town

This place was great. I can't believe we haven't taken our kids there before. From Sadie's house its just a nice 30-45 min drive. And don't worry Brittany, I will definitely be in the mood (unless it's "too hot") to go again with you when we are down there again. We did miss you and the boys!

Check out the awesome geological formations.

Old School

The kids worked hard in the morning before we left to earn some spending money. They each earned $1. Spending options weren't big; either an arrowhead, post card or Panning for Gold! With a little persuasion we got them to use their dollar on this.






Jaden always led the way up little mountain sides and down paths. He is a true adventurer and took us places we otherwise wouldn't have gone.

Inside the silver mine. Just a note: do NOT try to take your stroller and baby seat through the turnstile at the top!!! Woo!

Old Frontier boys and girl

Olivia was fascinated with this stove and oven.
