Branson Weekend 2011

This weekend we went to Branson with my family while Kraig played in a golf tournament at Springdale Country Club (he ended up 6th out of 86 teams!).


Every year my family (mom & dad, Aunt Brenda & Uncle Lenard, Tammy and family, etc) goes to Branson in August to watch a car show. We spent Saturday swimming at the hotel pool, and then I took Lauren to White Water's Night Swim (from 5-10) with my sister Tammy and her family. We had a great time! It was nice to have some one on one time with Lauren...thanks mom for keeping Colton!


After White Water we went back to the hotel and planned to stay up for the car show (which started at 12 midnight!). We did our best but around 11:30 pm Colton had had it...so I went to the room with him. Lauren stayed with Tammy but right at 12 she put her head on Tammy's shoulder and started to fall asleep...so she brought her to my room. The kids slept in until 8 am Sunday morning. We left the hotel around 9:30 am and I had season passes to Silver Dollar City so I thought "I can do this by myself"! So I took the kids to SDC by myself for the first time. We only stayed 2 hours but that was Lauren's choice not mine (but I went with it!). Since there are only a few rides for the kids to ride she rode each one a few times (including Colton riding some a few times) and then she decided it was time to leave. I said "Lauren we can go ride these one more time and then leave and get some lunch or we can go now" and she said "mom, lets just go home I'm tired". :-)


It was a very eventful weekend! Thanks family for spending the time with us...it was very nice to spend it with you!









Lauren wanted to do everything that Katlyn did...even put her shoes next to hers!



SDC!


Lauren rode the tea cups by herself for the first time!


The kids stayed up until about 20 minutes from home! Needless to say they slept great Sunday night from all the fun and little sleep!
