Branson Trip!

A couple of weeks ago, we took a mini-vacation to Branson...just me, Michael, Blake, and Easton. Michael's parents offered to watch Parker for us, so that is why you don't see him in these pictures. We missed Parker so much, but Michael and I had a wonderful time just hanging out with our two oldest boys!

The first day we arrived, we swam in the pool and went go-carting. The second day, we took the boys to Silver Dollar City! Wow...what a blast we had! That was our first time there, and I have a feeling we will be returning. We started the day on the kid's rides, but soon found out that both Blake and Easton could ride most of the the big rides as long as they rode with an adult. The first ride we all went on together, we got drenched from head to toe. We had no idea that was coming, but it sure was FUN! After that ride, we decided to put all of our belongings in a locker for the day, and we just went out and rode a ton of rides not having to worry about all of our stuff getting wet. That is why I don't have lots of pictures of us at Silver Dollar City. Well, we spent the entire day there, and made some great memories. Michael even rode his first roller coaster!

Our last full day there, we slept in and ate a nice breakfast. Then, we did alittle shopping at the outlet mall and spent the rest of the day swimming. We ended the day with a great dinner and a round of putt-putt golf!

We had a wonderful vacation! A huge thank you to Mike and Diane for keeping Parker. We are glad you all had fun with him, too!
