We had a wonderful, wonderful time last week in Branson. We arrived Sunday night and got the kids into bed ready for a fun-filled day the next day! Brenda and Larry's trailer is so nice, we sleep on the bottom, Andrew sleeps on top, Matthew in the pack and play and Kaitlyn in the fold down sofa. Brenda and Larry have their own room.
Well we woke up ready to ride rides, eat and SWEAT! It was hot, but we rested and sat a lot. Andrew rode the swings, the little roller coaster, the pirate swing, the tea cups. Kaitlyn rode the frogs, the elephants, the lady bugs (all by her self), the butterflies. She rode the pirate ship, but was SCARED and said she did not want to ride it again, in fact she did not even want to come near it, she stood completely still and wouldn't move until I promised that she wouldn't have to ride the ship! We ate lunch there, watched a dog show, and checked out the new kid area that had a slide and carosal. We then headed back to the trailer and ate dinner and took baths and played. Each night the adults headed outside on the picnic table and talked.
We thought it was going to rain, so we reserved Tuesday for shopping. It ended up not raining, but it was a nice break after hitting it so hard the day before. We shopped and shopped and shopped some more. We then went back to the trailer and took naps...well the adults did :) and then we went to a surprise..we went to play Putt-Putt. It was so much fun, even Kaitlyn "played". She would hit the ball and then pick it up, put it by the hole and hit it in! Smart girl! Larry ended up winning and David lost...Andrew beat him!
Wednesday was water day. So we played in the water park area, rode the water rides, and watched the family circus. We also took a tintype picture where the boys were cowboys and the girls were prairie girls. It was so fun, and the picture turned out great!
The next day we had to leave and I really didn't want to. Back to reality, to laundry, errands, and leave fun Branson behind. Hopefully we will go back in November to see all of the lights! It was a wonderful trip with fun times and a lot of memories!
