We drove down to Kansas to spend a few days with my sister at the beginning of our vacation. We all had fun relaxing, making pasties, and the part the kids like best- playing with their cousins.
We really enjoyed the condo we stayed in. The boys had their own room bedroom and bathroom and we had a nice little kitchenette to eat meals in.
To help cushion the cost of vacation, we did eat at least 2 meals at our condo or bring a prepared picnic along with us. We did find some other really fun places to eat:
Branson is famous for it's shows and so we had to go see for ourselves. We saw
Kirby Van Burch's magic show- we all were amazed
Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede- this one is dinner and a show- totally worth the money
The Hughes Brothers- an LDS family act- such nice people- we actually stayed and talked to them for a 1/2 hour after the show
The Haygoods- really talented family- the best music show we saw
GAC nights @ Silver Dollar City-
Speaking of Silver Dollar City- we spent 2 days there and had a blast!
We rode rides
One time where we should have taken them up on their photo
And walked through Marvel Cave
We spent a day at White Water
We rode the ducks- one of my favorite things that we did on our trip
We rode the go carts
With all the coming and going we made sure to relax as well-
there were bubble baths
the boys golfed
while the girls got pedicures- it was Genna's first, she loved it!
I even managed to do a puzzle and read 4 books.
Branson is a gorgeous place-
Lake Taneycomo- we drove over this everyday to get into town
Table Rock Lake
I'm sure we'll go back soon.

That sounds like an incredible vacation! Branson is a great place to take a family! I think it was one of our better ones. We went in Summer '05 and loved riding those ducks!
Great pictures - sounds like you had a wonderful time!
What a fun vacation for your family! I know one of the Hughes brothers from my mission. He helped convert a girl we taught and they later got married (and divorced - ugh). Glad to see their act is still going strong!
Also, I'm SO impressed with your square foot gardening. It all looks amazing and I think you'll really like it. My parents have been using that technique for about 15 years and it is amazing!
Wow, that brings back memories for me. My DH grew up in Springfield and he talks about Table Rock Lake and Silver Dollar City a lot. We spent some time in Branson a few years ago and it was a blast.
Glad you had a good vacation.
Looks like you guys had so much fun! See you sunday!:)
