Branson Missouri
I'm recovering from strep throat so I'm finally getting these pics from our trip to Branson up. My parents own a rental house out in Branson so we met up with my sister the Baillio crew and tore up Branson for a week. I was really nice. They call it the "Family" Vegas. There are shows and parks and lots of good family activities. Traveling with 3 kids on an airplane was an experience all by it self. But what isn't an experience with a 8 month old, VERY TWO year old and a just barely 4 yr old- just old enough to get charged to go into places.

We went to the amusement park Silver Dollar city and rode the train

Dave was excited about eating a turkey leg
There were quite a few rides the kids could go on maybe you can see Lily's little head with Celeste.

Dave, Brad and I went into the cave attached to the park while Celeste Mom and Dad tore up some roller coasters. That was a little crazy especially 2 hours past nap time cold wet and small spaces.



It was awesomely beautiful though



We ate at a restaurant that had a "magic table" As soon as you got you food. Your table starts magically rising on a hydraulic pump. With the kids distracting us it took a while for us to figure it out:)






The Baillios and McDonald's stepped out for a double date of go karts and lazer tag
Brad was a spry grasshopper killing you and then springing away:)



On Sunday we visited the Local ward then hit the lake for a little hike and picnic







Mini Golf!

There were quite a few moving hazards to deal with





Fun Times!
