Picnic with Doc Holliday

Sunday morning we decided to explore downtown Glenwood Springs. And being the hiking expert that I've now become...I decided that I wanted to go on a half mile hike, uphill again, to see the Outlaw, Doc Holliday's, grave site. Seemed like a cheery thing to do.....and being Sunday afternoon and all, may as well stay and have lunch with our old buddy too...

This is a view from the top of the hill, where we stopped to have our picnic.

Aren't they precious??

The graveyard had lots of head stones and Kaylee, being my odd child, loved running around and reading what they all had to say. She liked figuring out how old they were and felt very sad when she found babies. She asked lots of questions and made up stories about some of the people she found. This was so her thing...very creepy that kid!

It was also a great opportunity to talk about death and God and trying to explain life after death to our children. Jagger has been adamant for the last two days that he does not want to meet God and would much rather staying with Mommy and Daddy forever. Guessing that talk didn't do much to put him at ease with death.....

And here is what we came to see..

Here is a whole other kind of talk that our kids didn't understand either. We call our kids hoodlums all of the time, but really....they have no clue...

I'm telling you, she was at home in this place....

Who knew this would be such a fun excursion?!
