Summer Vacation to Branson

The kids liked having their blankets over their heads for the drive . . . not sure why
Ryan said he could see through the hole in the back of Mike's seat . . . but I don't think he could see much.

Much better
I like that you can see Amber's name on her blanket =)

We went to Sight and Sound our first night and saw Joseph! Incredible!
The pool is always the favorite part of the hotel for the kids, they spent time there every night. At least this one had a cool waterfall.
They spent as much time in the hot tub as they did the actual pool.
We spent all day Thursday and Friday at Silver Dollar City
 

Amber graduated to the big rides this trip, now she will go on anything in the park!
If you look close you can see Ryan in green, then Mike, then Amber, on the right side of the ride.
Amber's first big ride, a roller coaster =)
Amber just getting off her first big ride . . . now we know she can go on anything!

Ryan got a front row seat!
They will still go on some of the smaller rides, but they want their own car now.
Of course they like the fun water rides, and got very wet =)
They had to play the pop the balloon game and get a Silver Dollar pig (1 play and she got 3 pigs - good deal)
On our second day at Silver Dollar City we left a little early and went to the Dixie Stampede


The morning we left we went on the Duck Boats
The kids got to drive for a little while (once we got on the water)
I always wondered what a duck would look like with a moustache

Ryan got to ride in front for the first time on a big trip . . . the lumbar on my seat was killing my back.
It was a good vacation, we all had fun, and the weather was nice (I was worried it would be too hot, but it wasn't =) Yea!
