Goldfield

We always love it when Grandpa and Grandma Fisher come out to Apache Junction for the winter! Our visits are always fun. Last time we went to the park -- they have a nice retro merry-go-round, which the kids just loved.

Grandma made all of Rand's favorite foods for lunch: macaroni and cheese, corn, and donuts for dessert. He was so thrilled. Then we went exploring! We stopped at Apache Junction's Movieland, where they filmed several westerns. Rand thought the stagecoach was super fun. We pretended that we were riding to the grocery store. We also saw a sleigh, and a jail, and a covered wagon.

Rand liked the view from the gallows. Thankfully Ella was still asleep!

Then Ella woke up and she and Grandma joined the fun. She also liked the stagecoach.

Next we went to Goldfield. I didn't think Rand would remember it since it had been a year since he had been there, but as soon as we drove in he asked, "Is this the place with the loud whistle?" Yep! I was impressed. Grandma and Ella were very coordinated all bundled up together.

It started to rain, but that was not going to keep us from riding on the train! This is Ella saying, "Train!"

Fun fun. We sure miss them when they head home to Indiana!
