Trip to Branson, Missouri

We didn't take a big vacation this year. So when Mark's brother, David and our sister in law, Carlette and the kids were going to Branson Missouri, we decided to meet them there!!

We decided to go a day early and got to our hotel and Mark and I both could tell, even though it was a non-smoking hotel, our room had been smoked in and they had no rooms to move us to. So, as my sinus filled up and got stuffy from smelling the smoke, we slept and got up the next morning and after breakfast, we drove around and got a different hotel and moved. We found a local hotel that was clean and they showed us the room before we signed anything, which was good. It was a really nice hotel. We got a suite and was very comfortable with everything available.

Heidy and Skyler went swimming, it was so hot outside, I think the hottest days of the year so far!!

You can't see Heidy in this picture but she is in there between Skyler and the dolphin!

The big kids, Bradley and his girlfriend, Casey and bottom row.. Skyler, Cassie, Tiffanie, a friend of the nieces, and Raylynn.

At the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.Skyler with the tallest man and the heaviest man on record.
Then we went to the Titanic museum and oh my, it was good! You get the boarding pass of a passenger and you go through the museum and find out if you live or die at the end. It was very interesting!!

We went to "Ride The Ducks" They gave us quackers, to quack at other "Duck" vehicles.

Skyler drove it too...

We went shopping and while we waited for the big kids, Heidy and her Uncle David, played with an empty water bottle kicking it back and forth.

We had a great time!!!
