Tuesday was a very busy day for us. We started off by visiting the Butterfly Palace. I've always wanted to go there, but this was our first time. We started off by watching a 15 minuted 3-D informational movie, then we went in to start viewing the butterflies. We got to do this at our leisure. The kids ran around and enjoyed looking at all the butterflies and birds. After they grew tired of the butterflies, we headed down to the mirror maze. Emma LOVED it. She made us go through it 3 times. We also view their "critter corner" full of lizards, frogs, and TURTLES!! We went through the gift shop, then headed to the Hard Luck Diner for lunch. I thought the kids might enjoy this because of the singing waiters and waitresses. I was right. Emma suddenly became shy when one of the waiters came over to sing to her. Mac was the exact opposite. He loved it when a waitress came to sing to him. After lunch, we headed towards Ft. Leonard Wood, where my brother, who is a Captain in the Army, is stationed. It was raining pretty hard as we got to Springfield, so we just had to stop at Bass Pro to let the storm get by. We got to Randy and Irene's a little after 4:00. Emma and Mikayla played with each other while Mac enjoyed playing with the dogs. After Randy got home from class, we went to see their new house, which is still being built, then headed out for some Mexican food. Although our visit was WAY too short, we had a great time. We headed back to Branson about 7:00. When we got back to the hotel, Emma and I went swimming while Randall put Mac to bed. It was a long, busy day, but we enjoyed every minute!!

I agree it was way to short. We loved having you guys and watching the kids play. It was a great time, we will have to plan for longer next time.
