Family Trip to Branson

About a week and a half ago, we loaded up on Friday at lunchtime and headed to Branson. Momma and Daddy headed that way with us, and Randy (my brother) and his family came down from Ft. Leonard Wood. We got a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom condo for the weekend and planned on just having some family fun time. We didn't eat out except lunch Sunday (which was actually lupper because we ate at 3:00) before we headed home. Friday night we had hot dogs for supper, then we headed out to walk around the grounds. Saturday morning we had pancakes for supper, then I went out and did a little shopping with Momma to get some school clothes for myself. (The men took the kids to the "kiddie pool" at the condo.) I ended up getting several pairs of pants/capris and shirts to go with them! I was very excited! That afternoon, the guys headed to Bass Pro while Momma and I took Emma, Mac, and Mikayla (Randy's oldest daughter) to the pool. We had steaks on the grill for supper, then headed out to the strip to let the kiddos get in some rides. We also headed over to Cakes~n~Cream to cool off. Sunday morning, we cooked breakfast and packed up...we did do some shopping before heading home. Randall, the kids, and I, ended up not leaving until about 4:00! All in all, we had a great weekend!

My black raspberry sundae from Cakes~n~Cream!! That's my favorite place in all of Branson! I love to play the jukebox and enjoy family time eating ice cream or funnel cakes!!


Emma's Peace Sign Bear she made at Build-A-Bear. Her name is Sadie...we always let the kids cash in their piggy bank money for our trips to Branson, and Emma always gets to make an animal at Build-A-Bear! She doesn't know there is a Build-A-Bear in Little Rock!!


Mac's "Batman" car...he uses his piggie bank money to go to Ride Makerz...it's like Build-A-Bear, but the boys get to "build" their own cars!! It's really cool!

Last time we went to BAB in Branson, we let the boys do the Ridez. It was pretty fun, but those things can get pretty expensive. Shelby saw the commercial for the Peace Sign bear and has been wanting to go! The cat's outta the bag that there's one in LR. :(
