Ghost Town!

I love taking Pearce on little adventures outside of town.  Today we went to Manor, TX which is about 45 minutes from us, to explore an 1800's western ghost town.  I, of course, had to dress Pearce in his finest western apparel....his new Woody t-shirt, jeans, cowboy hat, and his cowboy boots....even if they were a little snug!  I woke Pearce up early...for him....at 8:00 so that I could put him down for a nap by 12:00.  Then I woke him up from his nap at 2:30 and by 3:15, we were on the road!  On the way there Pearce kept saying "Dosts...oooh, pooky!"  We got there and were ready to explore!  It was a little "town" of run down buildings...jail, bank, barn, house, etc...  Pearce had so much fun going from building to building.  There was even a little wooden playscape with a slide and a couple of swings!  A little later, Christie, Mike and Ridley met us there and we grabbed some dinner at the grill then did some more exploring.  There was a wooden maze that Pearce and Ridley just loved!  They would both run after Mike who was leading us through and Christie and I would just follow the boys.  Afterwards, some live music started up, so we just sat on the benches outside and listened to them.  We were there from 4:00-7:00 and Pearce would have been so happy to stay even longer!
