Branson, MO Aug 30-Sept 6

Our trip to Branson was lots of fun. Unfortunately, Daddy had to work and did not get to enjoy the adventure. The boys were great on the 11 + hour car trip. The best thing was both boys were free. Most places didn't charge for kids until age 4 and Jaeden was still 2 :)

Jayce stepping out onto the balcony. On Monday, Junie and Papa took Jaeden to see Noah, the Musical, while Jayce and I stayed at the condo. Jaeden had a blast and loved seeing the animals and huge ark. Some animals were real and some were robotic, but he thought everything was great!!



We spent 2 days at Silver Dollar City, which is a large amusement park. They have lots of shows and singing. The park resembles how people lived in the 1800s. It shows glass blowing, blacksmith shops, candy shops, wood working shops, etc. Of course, the boys loved the 'roller coasters' as Jaeden calls them. Although not depicted below, Jaeden was not a fan of the REAL mini-roller coaster. His favorite was the pirate ship that I thought went quite fast!




It's hard to see Jaeden and I in the swing pic, but we're right in the middle. Jaeden really wanted to ride, but was scared the whole time the ride was going. It was a double seater swing so I was right next to him. But when the ride was over, he said, "that was fun!"

Jayce loved the little kiddie rides, and DID NOT want to get off!!!

Jaeden was tall enough to ride one kiddie ride by himself, and thought it was great!!!! It did move very slow!


They both loved the jumping frog ride, which we rode the most!!

There was an area with lots of roosters and chickens, and Jayce had to touch and look at every single one!!!
