Mini vacation to Branson, MO


The family went went to Branson, MO this weekend. We left on Thurs morning and it took us about 7 hours to get there arriving about 4pm. It was raining and cold when we got there but that didn't stop us from getting out. After checking into our hotel we went to Montana Mike's Steakhouse to eat and then went to the Kirby and Bambi Vanburch show. The resturant was average but the show was fantastic. This guy is great with illusions!!! After a nights rest we were up and at 'em about 9am eating at IHop and then off to the Hollywood Wax museum -by the way it was a beautiful sunny day. Here is a pic from the museum.
This pic was taken with my phone because although I brought my camera the battery was not in it. Donnie has failed to tell me he had put it in the charger so this was the best we could do.
Out next event was sitting through a pitch to sell us timeshare property. This is really why we ended up going because we got the two nights for only $59 if was sat through this. It was wasn't bad and the property was beautiful but we didn't fall for it and Donnie was solid. So it's 3pm and we were looking for some fun- off to The Track. This place had a 3 story wooded go card track- Rilea was deathly scard so Ethan got to go twice- once with me and then with Donnie. Next was miniture golf for the family. I thought I was doing good until the very end - I ended up in a tie with Ethan. We went back to the hotel and the kids got in the indoor pool for a short time and then we got ready and went to Charlie's for dinner- all you can eat ribs for $11.99- it was really good. Friday night we went to see the Hamner & Barber variety show. It too was a good show and the kids loved it. Saturday we headed home broke but with lots of memories.
