Branson- Day 5 & 6




Another lake day!






I live my best life on any lake, as you can see:)









Pizza delivery for the win again!






They looked so grumpy and miserable on our way to dinner!
Those poor sunburned and tired eyes.
They sure knew how to squeeze in every bit of fun during the day.





Our last show at the Hughes theater again.
This time it was the original brothers putting on the show.

These 2 were BEGGING for a sparkle hat at intermission.
I was definitely not the softy who bought them.
Not sure how Casey caved into those, but I was shocked to see them on their
heads when I came back from buying fudge!
I am a sucker and will fork out the money for food  though, lol!
 




Last walk to Andy's for ice cream. 




Sunday breakfast!




We had to have a Lindblom staple.
We thank Grandmother for our love for biscuits and gravy. 




Loved this ginormous flag on the way to church.




I think the kids were out of their church clothes before we made it back to the cars!
We stopped for some Parlor Donuts then went to the Landing to look around.
I had heard they have a cool water show by the water front.
The makers of the water show at the Bellagio in Vegas built this one as well.


Waiting patiently for it to start.


Casey scoring a massage. 




Tanner really wanted to match Della's shoes. 
I guess they found some in a shop while walking through the Landing and
now they are twinning!





The extent of the "amazing' water show.
Womp, womp.
I guess they put all of their resources into sin city, not country town.

We had a good chuckle over the mediocre sprays.




We walked through downtown and grabbed some Linner (lunch/dinner).




And paid homage to Trump at his store!
Sending all the good vibes his way this election year!





We went back to the house to pack up and saw that our flight got bumped
from 9pm to midnight.
I booked our house one extra night knowing we would have a late flight out
and didn't want to leave luggage in our cars all day since normal check out is 11am.
Super glad I did that, and was well worth the money with the extra 3 hours we now had!


And gave us a chance to eat up more of the left over food:)



And get our energy out on the courts!






 I hope to visit you again, Branson!
You still have places I need to see.
Summer or Winter, you are wonderful place year round.

Branson- Day 4







Amusement park day!








I can hardly believe we only have 2 "little kids" that choose the kiddie section
over the big thrill rides!

I happily volunteered to sit and watch them bounce from ride to ride
while Casey jumped on the rollercoasters with the big kids. 

Grandma loves the spinning and twirly rides. Bless!!

















I was most excited to hear that SDC had cinnamon bread just like
the kind Dollywood had!







The best find was this huge air conditioned room with 
guns and coils that sucked balls up and out in the air. 




I looked at Stephanie who was conked out cold!
So I decided to lay down and opened my eyes one hour later in shock!

It was the best unexpected nap!
And luckily the kids stayed put and didn't even notice we were "sleeping on the job". 





While we were dozing, these girls were getting an opposite experience!





I guess this is THE ride of all rides at SDC.
So proud of them. 











It was blackberry season so we had to sample the goodness!







 Representing their companies.






We joked that Casey was missing his bishops office:)
