After we checked out this morning we headed over to the old west replica of Dodge City. It's not like Tombstone where it's all still authenic. Everything here is a reproduction. They have a museum with the history of Dodge City. At the end you can go outside to Boot Hill. It was a bit of a let down after Tombstone. 
We intenionally hung around to she the gun show. We ordered lunch from the saloon and sat ourside on the picnic tables so we could watch the reenactment. It started at noon and at 12:03 it was over! The shortest "show" ever. 
After that we "got the heck out of Dodge!" We drove past several more stinky cow factories along the way. Not long after leaving Dodge we started seeing these really strange looking trees...
As we drove on we realized we were in Greenberg, Kansas. The site of the F5 tornado that hit last month. There is virtually nothing left standing, it's wiped the town off the map. It was so sad to see. It reminded me of driving through the gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina.
After this we headed on into Edmond, Ok where we spent the night with our cousins, Scott and Patty Conrad. The kids had a WONDERFUL time playing together and swimming. 
It was midnight before they went to sleep! We had a wonderful visit and we are all really looking forward to our week in South Padre together.
We left around noon and met Nick for lunch in Norman before heading for HOME!!!
Blessings,
Leslie
