Branson in pictures

Our trip to Branson to see family and celebrate Dad's life was good and hard, full of joy as well as sadness.  I miss him.  I love dad tons and felt his absence.  Here is our visit in photos.


Gary sprinkles dad's ashes into one of dad's favorite spots: Table Rock  Lake.

Gary and Mama Petty

I can not be more thankful for this man.

Lisa, Lori, and Leslie: Gary's step-sisters

Gary practicing for the family photo shoot

The "nice" photo

The silly photo!  This one will go up on the wall!

Could this be her school picture?

My favorite girls.

The boys check out part of Grandpa Larry's Coca-cola collection

Penny wouldn't leave the jukebox.  This girl loves music.

Hotel entertainment.

Garrison was thrilled to take pictures at the Butterfly Palace.

The butterfly landed on my shoulder and wouldn't leave.

Garrison, Simon, Penny, Noel, Naomi, and Luke

Garrison fed a cricket to the turtle.

Mini-golf indoors!  In 105 degree heat this is the way to go.

Swimming in the hotel pool every day.

That is one Big World Pizza.

The largest pizza we've ever seen.

She kept standing over the vents so her dress would poof up. 

Our family picture after the funeral.

Enjoying "the lunch"

The whole family

Noel and Naomi at a swim park: so fun!

Garrison was tall enough to go on the slide.


A visit to Branson wouldn't be complete without seeing Karen.  Miss and love her tons!
