So, we have been really needing some quality family time here lately and after Jason's trip we thought it would be a great time to hit the road for a little while. And I do mean a little while, but it was really great! We left on Thursday for Branson. I know that it does not sound like much especially since Branson is only about 80 miles from our house, but it is just far away to have a little peace and quiet. (Only 2 work related phone calls, which is not bad for two days). The first day was filled with the kid's favorites. Transformers 2 at the movie theater, which we all loved, and dinner at Texas Roadhouse followed by... Swimming at the Hotel. I think that we could just go to a Hotel and go swimming for a week and they would think it was the best vacation ever.
Well, the next day we went into Branson. We did a little shopping and then we went to see NOAH THE MUSICAL at the Sight and Sound theater. It was really awesome. The kids loved it. I would recommend it to anyone. It was really spectacular. They had REAL and animatronic animals. Then the set of the Ark actually wrapped around the theater so you saw animals on all sides. It was something to see. Shelby and Bennett especially loved the parts where they were gathering the animals in the ark and all the live animals would come down the aisles and into the ark. Pretty Amazing!!!
So after that we decided to go home. We spent the 4th relaxing at home watching the kids light fireworks. We didn't even make it to the display because we were having so much fun shooting our own fireworks. Bennett and Shelby are both old enough this year to light the fireworks themselves ( with our supervision of course) so it was a real great family weekend.
Now it is back to work. It was fun while it lasted!
