Labor Day Weekend!

Saturday morning we got up and decided to head South with the camper. I have wanted to go and check out an Apple Orchard in Willcox, AZ and so we loaded up the camper and off we went. We ended up staying in a really nice campground in Benson, AZ called Cochise Terrace. We just hung around town on Saturday and then Sunday morning we got up and headed to Willcox to Apple Annie's Orchard.

We had an all you can eat pancake breakfast among the apple trees! After breakfast we headed out in the orchard to pick apples.

Adalyn kept picking up all the apples on the ground.


Our new six year old:-)


Myles had fun picking the apples. He also ate a ton!


Trying to get a picture of the four of them (notice Adalyn's face one again...she wanted a kiss!!)

She discovered these apples were pretty good to eat!


So she sat and enjoyed munching on her apple!

After the apple orchard we headed up the mountain to go check out Cochise Stronghold. I knew nothing about Cochise, but my Western Loving husband educated me and the kids all about Cochise. He was the Apache Chief and he lead his followers through the rugged terran of the Dragoon Mountains and Cochise Stronghold is where he held off the U.S. Army for about 11 years. It was a nice drive and at the top there was a campground with picnic tables and some hiking trails.

We had snacks and drinks up at Cochise Stronghold.

Adalyn giving kisses!


They had this really cool bridge that the kids had fun playing on.


Can you spot the blue bird?

Adalyn did really well at hiking the little bit that we did hike.

Raelyn Kay...


After the excitement of Cochise Stronghold, we headed to tombstone. Tombstone is an old western town. Tombstone is full of old shops, stagecoaches and gun fights. The people of the city dress up in the old western clothes.

A Stagecoach....you can take city tours on them.


Broedy


Raelyn...notice her pink cowgirl hat! She has wanted a cowgirl hat for awhile so she can wear it when she rides horses out at OJ's ranch. She used her birthday money to get a pink cowgirl hat! She is adorable in it!

After tombstone we headed back to the campground to eat dinner and relax! They had a really nice pool and hot tub and we went and played in the pool and I got to sit in the hot tub:-)

It was a great weekend! It was fun to get out of the heat and explore some new places with the kids.
