I am FINALLY done with school for the summer!!! The hardest part for me was missing out on all the usual fun summer adventures we usually have. As a teacher, I get to spend the summers with the kids and I am not used to missing out on all the fun! As I mentioned, Joey made sure they still had a great summer even without me. As soon as I was done with school, I was ready to start having some fun too! We made a list of what we wanted to do the most. One thing we wanted to do was go to the Ghost Town museum. We have driven by a million times, but have never stopped in. We decided we had to check it out.
We had such a great time! It is a small museum, but we still had a great time exploring. It is set up to look like an old western town. We enjoyed it because it helped us imagine what St. Elmo must have looked like it in it's glory days. The kids enjoyed looking at life long ago. At the end, they had an area to pan for gold. The kids and I really had fun doing that. We even were able to get a few pieces of gold too! I would definitely recommend the Ghost Town museum.
