Our family vacation to Branson was amazing!!! Every second was filled with fun and excitement. And best of all I was feeling good and was able to enjoy everything! Here we are all at Montana Mikes on Sunday evening just after arriving in Branson.
The kids loved the pool...then again what kid doesn't? Ethan got a chance to show off all the new tricks he learned in Wichita. Like Cannon Balls, and underwater summersaults.
Jadon got to ride around in the innertube and try to dodge the splashes Ethan and Christlyn sent his way!
A Breakfast for champions before a full day at Silver Dollar City...I think this was probably Jadon's favorite part of the day...all you can eat donuts, waffles, and yogurt, it doesn't get better than that for him! And the way he eats he may have put the hotel chain out of business.
Here we are riding the trolley to the park!
Welcome to Silver Dollar City!
Christlyn loved this playhouse...in fact she was asking for it for her birthday...hint hint grandpa, think you could build one?
I'm done with time out corners...I need to get me one of these.
Ethan and Christlyn really enjoyed this ride where we got to ride around in boats and shoot at targets...if you'll look in the background you'll see Dorian really enjoyed it too...LOL!
All aboard the Silver Dollar City Train Line! This was a must see and do for Ethan and all he could talk about the week prior to our vacation...a real train ride! Christlyn was a little nervous because we'd told her that the train was going to be stopped by train robbers...she couldn't understand that it was part of the ride and when we got to the part with the robbers she tried to hide under the seat...Ethan however turned his hand into a gun and tried to defend us all!
Off to the kiddie rides!!!
Hmmmm....what should we ride next???
We took a little break from the heat in the afternoon and went inside to see the Ice Circus. Christlyn was mezmorized by the skaters...especially this Russian skater who skated on stilted ice skates.
Now off for a grown up roller coaster!!! I can't believe Ethan went on this...but he loved it!
Daddy showing Jadon how this ball vacuum worked. After Dor gave him the tutorial he walked around for quite a while collecting balls and putting them one by one inside the tube until they were sucked out of his hand.
Ethan's favorite was the ball gun...he could have spent a week right there and still not had enough time!
Playing around at the farm...here Dorian and Ethan are pulling themselves up the silos...actually I think Dor was doing all the work.
Christlyn's turn.
Time to milk Bessie...Christlyn's a natural.
Time for another Air Conditioner Break...here we're visiting the Kid's Conncotion room where the kids got to play with all kinds of unique toys. Jadon was working on his fine motor skills with these blocks and pegs.
Here the kids made all kinds of creations with Floam!
Another great treat at Silver Dollar City was getting to see Veggie Tales Live! The kids loved the show and loved getting to meet Bob and Larry. Larry, being the prankster that he is, stole Ethan's hat and put it on Bobs head...the kids couldn't stop laughing as they tried to jump up and reach it!
Someone has had a really long day!
Here we are at Branson Landing getting ready for the fountain show.
After a long day what could be better than a soak in the hot tub?
"To Infinity and Beyond"
Here we are at the Sight and Sound Theater. We were all so excited to get to see their production of Noah. It exceeded all of our expectation!
What a wonderful trip we had! But I must admit...it's nice to be home and to get some rest!
