One great thing about leaving early for a road trip! Texas Sunrises...
Love these kiddo's....
Love this man....
Coming into the Ozarks!
The condo...
From the back porch of the condo...they just discovered the pool!!!!
At this point we had only been out of the car for 15 minutes!!!
Branson Landing....
Silver Dollar City....
Caleb's first real (non kiddie) wooden roller coaster ride. He said nothing the entire ride but afterwards with a very serious face said I never ever ever want to do that again!!! Then later on mommy talked him to doing the Powder Keg which happened to be the scariest roller coaster I have ever been on. So sorry Caleb. Afterwards he was crying and said I told you I don't want to do that again. You never listen. So sorry! I will never talk you into riding a roller coaster again!!! Mine, Noah, and Ethan's hands were shaking when we got off. So we had to eat funnel cake to calm down and go ride the train (that happened to get robbed)!!!!
SDC is very gun friendly! We were shot at, shot at others, saw a shootout, and had our train robbed! Noah said Disney World is all princess and fairies but SDC is Kaboom!!! He said it is a boys world!!
Noah and Jason were the only ones brave enough to do the barn swing!
The train robbery...
Wake up Daddy! No sleeping in....
We rented a Ski Boat and tube on Table Rock Lake!
The boys first time to ever go tubing....they loved it and we couldn't get them off...
Me and Noah tubing...but we were coming to a stop when these pics were taken...
Getting too brave! They had fallen off several times tubing but could always manage to get back on until right after this pic below! Ethan fell off and quickly floated away from the tube and Jason swam towards him. I drove the boat around to him and rescued him to which he said I wanted Daddy to rescue me! Seriously?! Little Stink Pot - should've thrown him back in the water!!!! Just kidding - sort of!
The entire trip we ate mostly off the top restaurant list from Trip Advisor and enjoyed some amazing food from local mom and pops. So we ended up at this cool place called Hook and Ladder Pizza Company. It was all fun until it wasn't fun! They are owned by a firefighter and have fire equipment for you to play on. The boys were playing on a real fire truck and Ethan closed the door on his thumb. He has a very high tolerance for pain but this time he wasn't calming down and kept crying. We ended up at the ER for 4 hours. We left with a half cast and thumb fracture. Poor buddy! He was so brave and such a trooper!
Rolling with it! After we slept in from our cast experience last night (got home at 1 am) we had brunch at Krispy Kremes and determined to get back to having fun...
Creation Experience Museum....the boys got to show our tour guide their dinosaur knowledge and prove they know way more about dinosaurs than I do!!!
Showboat Dinner Cruise - Food, Magic Show, Comedy Show, Tap Dancing, and Music....
Noah said mom put your pinky in the air and wave it like you just don't care!!! LOL
On the way home to Texas I caught Caleb taking his first selfie!!!
We all agree that this was the best vacation ever minus the injury poor Ethan endured. We had so much fun and seriously loved Branson!!! A much needed get away to reconnect as a family!
