We had such a great time in Branson with Kirby's whole family. The kids were at great ages to be able to enjoy everything, the weather was perfect and we LOVE Branson. It's kind of our home away from home since we spent a year there for Kirby's job. So we never had to worry about finding things to do, we just did all of our favorite things.
Getting ready to leave. I thought the kids would sleep for hours if I got these soft comfy neck pillows. Lydia slept for half an hour on the way down, Clae didn't sleep at all. On the way home neither of them slept a wink. Soft comfy neck pillows did not work their magic. Good thing for DVD players! The kids actually did awesome for the car ride, I can't complain at all.
We spent A LOT of time at Silver Dollar City. One of Kirby's and my favorite places to go and the kids loved it. Clae rode on a big full size roller coaster with Kirby. I was a nervous wreck about it, but he loved it and did great.
Lydia was pretty much with me the whole time eating Kettle Korn and drinking frozen lemonade.
I was extremely tired by the end of most days and my feet and ankles were very swollen, but I made it without once having to rent a Rascal!
We dressed the kids in the same bright color every day. It worked out really well, we were able to spot them easily in the crowd.
A cute picture of four of the seven kiddos. Enjoying an evening at the Landing, another of our favorite spots.
The kids loved the whirlpool tub. I enjoyed relaxing in it a few times myself.
Riding on the trail (another of our favorites). Clae learned to ride without training wheels while we were there. My baby is growing up!
Lydia would rather just push her bike and pick flowers.
We spent A LOT of time at the beach, this was a new one for us, we hadn't been there before, but the kids loved it. The water was freezing, but they didn't seem to mind and the sand kept them entertained most of the time anyway.
The pool where we stayed was the perfect size for them, they love to swim.
