Best Family Vacation Ever!




Ok, so it was the first and by default the only family vacation that we have ever taken, but it was great! Despite a few bumpy moments in the car, it was pure fun! We did so many things that Branson had to offer and I'm not sure we scratched the surface. We rode the "Ducks", which are old WWII amphibious vehicles. We toured land and then the lake. Little Otis had a blast! Payton was mostly along for the ride, but the open sides were a little much at 50 miles per hour. He did enjoy looking around though. We also rode go carts(Both Big and Little Otis' favorite thing). On the last day, we went to Silver Dollar City, an old timey amusement park. They had lots of rides that Little O could ride alone, which became the motto of the trip, "I can do it by myself". He also rode 2 "big" rides with Otis. He was afraid of nothing! (I think this might be a bad thing.) We were exhausted at the end of each day, and here's a "note to self", 4 people in 1 hotel room for 3 days = claustrophobia. The only downer, my camera batteries failed two separate days so there are not many pictures. But I will make the best of it. Here are a couple.....

I am so glad you are back safe and sound and sleeping in separate bedrooms again. Get those pictures printed and ready to scrapbook.
