Tumacacori National Historic Park- Lots of pictures!

We are looking into the sun... can you tell?

We went to Tumacacori National Historic Park on Saturday. It is a site where three missions are preserved. It was interesting history. Old churches are some of my favorite sites to tour. The kids enjoyed playing in the replica of a local Native American home with the "kitchen" and everything.


























This is the San Xavier mission. It is still a working church and is being restored. It is quite beautiful. Logan thought it was fascinating that people go to church here. It is so different from what he is used to and I have to always remind myself to see through his eyes.













Afterward, we went into Tucson to go to a chocolate place Blake read about. We happened upon Trail Dust Town right in the middle of Tucson. It had gold-panning, shooting gallery, a little train, a merry-go-round circa 1920 and, of course, CHOCOLATE! We were only planning to go to the chocolate shop, but the kids were so excited that we stayed and let them play.






I told him to look as sad as he could.




All in all, a great time had by all!
