Branson for the end of the season.

We had been planning a trip to Branson for a few weeks.    Then after the accident we thought about canceling.    Then I listened to the girls talking and it seemed to me that they needed to get a way for the weekend and try to think of other things and have a good time.    To get their mind off of the wreck and just enjoy themselves.   Of course, Daddy couldn't go because of the pain he is still having and the back brace that he has to wear is uncomfortable to say the least.    Then Tessa is limping around because of the stitches in her right big toe.   So I made an executive decision to take everyone except Tessa and Daddy.   We also asked our next door neighbor, Paige, to go along.   She has the girls over all the time for sleepovers and I just thought it would be nice to ask her to go.  That was a hit with the girls and with Paige.

So we took off after Zora's 8AM appointment Friday morning.   We were in Branson by 3:30PM.   Checked into our hotel and then off to find some school clothes for Rae, Zora and Jordis.   The pick for supper was Joe's Crab Shack, yummy!!   By the time we left there it was raining :(   We headed back to the hotel and the girls swam for an hour.   Then it was time to go to bed as we were going to be up and out to Silver Dollar City early Saturday morning.

Saturday morning was cold!  I dressed in two sweatshirts and my jacket and still froze!   The girls were on the move and kept warm running around from ride to ride.   I was glad that I not only had my scrub hat for my head but also my jacket hood.  I did manage to sunburn my face.   But the sun felt so good it was hard not to soak up some rays!

Paige is more of a dare devil than my girls and she was going to get a couple of them on the Outlaw Run Rollercoaster, but it was just not meant to be.   My girls were the stick in the muds.   Maybe next year!!

Sunday we slept in late and after checking out of the hotel we headed to Bob Evans for brunch.   Then back on the road again for home.   Of course, Sunday dawned much warmer than Saturday...oh well.  We are trying to decide if we will buy annual passes to Silver Dollar City or if we will try something different this next summer.   Maybe World's of Fun?!!
