Spring Break Part 2: Branson Missouri

Jeff and Jaimi (Zach's sis) invited us to stay with them at their World-Mark timeshare in Branson with them. We were so stoked! We had an awesome time. It was so fun to be with them.
Thanks so much for inviting us to be with you guys! We loved it!

The Shanghi Circus. It's kinda like Cirque De Sole the "O" show in Vegas.




Mini Golfing!



Leah and Brian, our friends in Topeka. They invited us to golf with them. They stayed at Cedar Lodge and had access to golfing, swimming pools, canoeing on the lake, horseback riding... It was pretty sweet.
The Bass Pro Fish.
Look how pretty it is here!

Last one in the fishes mouth. Guess who got a hole in 1? Ya, that's right, I did. :)

Petting the Horses



It was so beautiful there. The blossoms had just come out too. It overlooked a lake and it was in the hills. So pretty.
Jaimi got a new fancy camera...and the horse wanted to eat it :)

We were only a couple miles away from the boarder of Arkansas...so of course we had to go to put that on our list of US States we've been to.

Date Night
Jeff and Jaimi listened for Wyatt so we could go out on a little date one night. We did some sight seeing and then we went to the outlets and went shopping for a bit. Here are a few pics.
King Kong! Look out!


Silver Dollar City
Here we are at Silver Dollar City, one of the most crowded theme parks I think I've ever been to.
Here's what the cave looks like that we're about to head into.
Here we all are headed into the cave. Gotta love our nieces faces here. it cracks us up.
Proof that we made it in the cave...until we decided we'd better leave the cave...Wyatt was screaming and we knew we wouldn't last 1 hr of trying to hold him and keep him quiet. So we turned back around and headed out.
Our walk of shame back out of the cave.
The crazy Silver Dollar City characters.
Wyatt and Zach were little buddies at the park. Zach let me go on some big roller coasters with my friend Leah...cause her family was sick and she already had the tickets. So we went on 3 roller coasters and spent 4 hrs in line...not so fun, but the roller coasters were amazing! We'll have to go back again on a less crowded day...without a toddler :)
Zach and Wyatt played in this ball pit area for most of the day. You put the balls in the tube and it sucks it up and spits it out. There were balls flying everywhere, kids were shooting them out of guns, it was super cool.
The worker there poured balls all over Wyatt and Zach. Wyatt was loving it!

Cool Dude!
We went on a fun train ride around the park and in the forest. In the forest we got "held up" by some outlaws and they had a fun little show.

We LOVED Branson! So many good shows, so many rolling hills, beautiful scenery, super family friendly. We want to go back again for sure! My friend Aimmee said it's like Vegas for Mormons :) Ya, it kinda is!

Also, here's a little video of Wyatt and Gracen dancing.

Thank you so much for coming with us. It was so great to be with family again!

Holy cow! Not the best pictures of our family in this mix. (Insert me shaking my head.)The picture of the group going into the cave--oh my gosh--Summer looks like a celeb mug shot!Maybe it would have helped if we hadn't just ran straight uphill through the park to make it to you guys on time for the tour. Ha, ha!

Told you! Vegas for Mormons, kind of. So glad you had fun. Wyatt gets cuter with every pic. I just want to hug him!
