Pendleton "Comes to Life"

My mom and her family grew up in Pendleton Oregon. We visit every year and enjoy Pendleton and its awesome attractions. Its known for the famous Pendleton Woolen Mills, the rodeo, and the underground tours. The underground tours take you through a city under the city that was built it the 1800s by the Chinese. Every year, once a year, in the underground tours, they put on a show called "Comes to Life". This is were they replace manikins for real people. So when the tours go through, the manikins come to life and as if it were that time period. Josh and I were able to go this year and play a part in the Shamrock Card Room, the saloon. Josh played the part of the bar tender and I was a cancan dancer. Josh had never been before so I was a little nervous of how he would react. I didn't know if he would be able to understand why I love Pendleton so much or even be able to understand my family... but he did good and he actually enjoyed himself quite a lot.

These are the Chinese jails. Josh and I went though the tour the day before Comes to Life


This was first comes, first serves

Don't you love having an excuse to be a prostitute - or at least look like one! Actually, from the looks of it, you were in the Saloon, right? I myself am an experienced prostitute thanks to good ol' Comes to Life. In all honesty though, you are far too beautiful and classy to pass for a real show girl, but hey, I'm sure Josh wasn't complaining! Luv you Lindsey!
Your Cuz, Abby
