Our trip to Branson

So we had our trip to Branson this weekend and had an awesome time. We went down there with my parents, sister, and niece and nephew. We got down there Thursday afternoon then went to Celebration City that night. The kids had a great time. Adriana got her hair done up in a cute updo. They got to ride lots of rides and Andrew even braved up enough to ride a few of the bigger rides. We came home and crashed out that night.

The next day we went to Silver Dollar City. Thank God the place is really shaded with a lot of trees because it was HOT! But of course fun:) It was kids fest so they had a lot of activities for the kids to do. They got to play lots of games and win a bunch more stuffed animals (not that we don't already have too many!) They also got to ride a lot of rides and Adriana is really starting to get brave and riding a lot of the bigger rides. She is still too little for the big roller coasters but believe me as soon as she is tall enough she will be on them. They also got to make a lot of crafts including a tiedye shirt and sand sculptures. We also watched a circus on ice show while we cooled off. Then we headed over to the water area which is a huge area full of water guns to spray at each other and other fun activities to make sure the kids are good and wet. They all had a ball there. We finished off the day there with a singing and dancing show at the end. We then headed back to the hotel and went swimming then headed to the ice cream social they had there. The kids definitely had no problems heading to sleep that night:)
On Saturday we were going to go to White Waters but opted to head back to Silver Dollar City since we didn't get a chance to do everything the day before. This time we started off getting an old time picture done of all the kids. It actually turned out really cute, which was really hard work with all 5 of the kids. Then we headed to the other kids area where they have a huge barn full of kids activities. The girls got to make all kinds of girly stuff including lip gloss, lotion, bath beads and more. The boys made a frisby and played some other crafts there. All the kids got to make some glob stuff that is good and messy. After we left there we rode some more rides and mom got to get a little shopping done too. We once again ended the night swimming and eating at the ice cream social.
The kids were very sad to have to come home but were excited to unpack all their new treasures and put them in their rooms.
My camera got lost somewhere in Branson (which other than losing all my pictures wasn't that big of a deal because I'm getting a new one this week). I will try to add some as soon as I get prints from my mom and sister.
