Branson

We decided to go to Branson for the weekend.  Even though we had only been in school for a week, everyone was ready for a little rest and relaxation.  First though we had to get out of the Dallas area.  It only took over 2 hours to get to the Oklahoma border due to lots of construction.  We arrived in Branson about 1:00 a.m., but we were up early the next morning.  So much for rest but we had fun day planned.

We did not actually stay in the lodge.  We were in a studio villa.  Since it was so late upon arrival, I didn't get a picture before it was destroyed by children.

The weather was beautiful.  Our first stop was breakfast.   The food was great!!

Patiently waiting for our food....

Then we were off to the lazy river but what we did not realize is that it would be freezing cold at the end of August.  The kids still had to get in but they only lasted one time around.

 Just floating down the river...

After swimming, it was time to get changed and head out for some shopping, including the Amish store.

We also went to see the Dixie Stampede.  The kids loved the show.  The food was great too.

To wrap up the evening, it was time for mini-golf.....

.....and s'mores....

Even though the trip was short, we had a great time!!!
