The Weekend--Lincoln

Part of our local "claim to fame" is involving the infamous Billy the Kid. About an hour from our house is the courthouse that held Billy the Kid for a short time. He eventually escaped and fled to another part of New Mexico. Lincoln is not an exciting place, but kind of interesting to walk around because it is reflective of an "old west" town. We kicked off our first weekend with the Deutsch walking around Lincoln. The kids learned the story of Billy the Kid, saw a bullet hole in the wall that is rumored to have been put there by Billy during the great escape, and well, yea--that's about the whole town.

This picture is some of Meganne's posse. L to R: (A)Shelby (A)Meganne (A)Sydney (D) Magdellena (A)Katie.

Here are the leaders of the group. L to R: (D)Frau Pikula (A)Frau Bell (D)Frau Schubert (D)Heir Volkmuth.

This is the whole group standing on the upper deck of the Lincoln Courthouse.

More on the Weekend--stay tuned.

  1. It looks like everyone had a good time. I remember Lincoln-particularly the court house & the bullet hole in the wall. Pretty interesting stuff.
    I'm glad your family had this experience with the German group. Good memories.
