Branson Travelogue

Can we pack us for the trip?

We detoured just north of Chicago to meet up with Uncle Tony and Auntie Annie. They bought the Vehi-Cross from us. Bittersweet.

Overnight in St. Louis. We were able to swim with our super friends the Pollacks! Luckily, this hotel had a pool that was partly inside and partly outside. AWESOME!

Doing some coloring in the hotel room.

They didn't start out sleeping this way. Hilarious!

She knows--don't climb on toilets--even if you do see a pacifier. :)

Get out the bail money!

Oh yeah--kids coaster here we come! Noel began screaming here and didn't stop (one of the few places we allow her to scream).

We enjoyed a Birds of Prey presentation.

More coaster fun.

Everyone want to ride with daddy in the teacups, he spins super fast.

Silver Dollar City can just take it out of you.

Still in love.

Swimming every day in the hotel pool.

Of course we can have ice cream for lunch: we are on vacation!

Notice that mom is not on this get very wet ride.

I discovered this mutant hair on Gary's arm. Seriously!

Hanging out at Grandpa Larry and Grandma Karen's house.

Of course we took a boat ride. Grandpa Larry goes so fast.

Girls' turn.

The kids loved collecting shells and rocks on Tablerock Lake.

Most everything in the house was a "no-no" for Penny.

We found a spot where the kids could drive their own go-carts!

Yeah, he is focused. No worries for this mama.

Notice the dutch hotel in the background. Branson has everything!
