Trip to Southern Arizona

This post from our guest blogger, Adam.

This weekend,mom and dad took us to Tombstone,Bisbee,and Douglas. It was pretty fun,but near the end it got really boring. First we went to Tombstone. We explored town a bit, saw a "Shootout", went to the courthouse, and got ice cream. I got rainbow sherbet, Ian and Heath got cookie dough, and I forgot what Luke got. In Bisbee, we went to a mine tour, and then shopped around a bit in town. In Douglas, we just stayed at the Gadsden Hotel, and had DQ for dinner. The only boring part was driving home from Douglas. Some other things that happened on our trip are....

Going to the Courthouse

I died

Ian and Heath go to Jail

We almost get trapped in a mine

Look what we woke up to!

Two inches of snow! Of course, it had mostly melted by the afternoon, but we all enjoyed it while it lasted!

This is why we moved out here...

Heath doesn't ask for much...

The Answers Revealed...

#1, Luke is BUZZ LIGHTYEAR! (BTW, Luke is either the 3rd or 4th Welker boy to wear that costume.)

#2, Adam is EINSTEIN! I thought he was Albert Einstein, but Adam has informed me that he was just "Einstein."

#3, Heath is a FIREBALL! This was Heath's own idea and design.

This means that Alisa and Shirley tied as winners -- Congratulations! Please be looking for a picture of the boys in your mailboxes in the next 6-8 weeks. :D

Halloween 2010

This year, this blog is hosting a "guess my costume" contest! Guess what each of the boys below dressed up as for Halloween, and win a fabulous prize: a photo of all three boys!

#1




















#2




















#3





















(You may notice #4 is missing. Poor Ian had a cold and stayed home with Grandpa Welker while we went to the Halloween party. But we arrived home with plenty of candy to go around, and Ian is feeling much better now.)

I will post the answers on November 10, so make your best guesses before then!
