Gilbert Ray Camping & Old Tucson

We have gotten pretty good at inviting ourselves on other people's vacations. When the Coe's mentioned that they were going camping, we persuaded to let us tag along. Elliot was pumped to combine his love of camping with his best friend Wyatt! And we were excited for a lantern lit round of Citadels. 
A couple of pals sneaking some Fritos
Who knew that gravel could be so much fun?
It got chilly at night (around 40). We greatly enjoyed breakfast in the Coe's heated camper. I also enjoyed an excuse to get Elliot to wear his adorkable hat.
Annabelle did great! She slept for 12 hours straight, which is her personal record! 

Next we checked out nearby Old Tucson. It opened as a film studio in the 1930s. Tons of western films and TV shows were filmed there, including Little House on the Prairie. They still film the occasional movie there, but it is mostly a museum/amusement park nowadays. 
Elliot was obsessed with this ride. There were no lines, so we went on it 6 times. 
Merry go round was a hit too
Apparently this is the most filmed train of all time. He's quite the locomotive super star.
