I thought I would share the highlights of our trip to Branson. Since Tom is in Guatemala, Claudia, Tom's mom, and I decided to head to Silver Dollar City for a few days with the kids. Kelly kept Caleb, as he is too little for the rides there, and off we went. We spent all of Thursday at SDC, and spent all of Friday at the outlet stores. I am just going to list some of the highlights:

Me almost throwing up on the big boat ride that just swings you back and forth and back and forth. Oh my! You should NEVER ride that just after riding the "ride around the boats super fast in a circle ride" twice, and after just eating a hamburger! The kids stomachs were fine, but they just had cotton candy!

Getting tapped on the shoulder while I was ordering a skillet meal. The man said, "Are you missing a kid?" I looked and said, "yeah" because Ezra was missing! He took me down the path about 10 yards and there was Ezra surrounded by a group of grandma's watching out for the little lost boy! He had apparently been walking alone and away from us looking confused! The man knew he was mine, because thankfully, I had dressed Ezra and Micah in the same bright yellow racing shirts that Papa Graney had sent!

Asking the kids what their favorite part of all Silver Dollar City was, the many rides, the shows, etc. Micah's answer, "The upside down house" Anna's answer, "The upside down house" Ezra's answer, "The thing that goes round and round" (we think the swings is what he meant) and Abigail's answer, "Well, probably the upside down house, if I had gotten to go in it!"

My favorite part of the trip: finding a pair of jeans for $8.99 a the Gap Outlet!
