Branson

The kids and I went to Branson for the 3-day weekend with some friends. They have a time-share, so we all stayed there. It was very nice.

All of the kids...Phoebe, Bryce, Zach, Ayden

The kids really enjoyed the workout room for some reason...

Saturday night we went to the Hamner Barber Variety Show. It was a ventroloquist and a magician. They also had lots of music and dancing and comedy. It was good for the kids and still entertaining for the adults too.

You couldn't take pictures during the show, but we got to take a picture with the 2 stars afterwards.

Ayden, Zach, Phoebe, and Kim with Barber (ventriliquist) and Hamner (magician).
They did an Austin Powers skit during the show....Zacharey was asking them about that and which one was it that dressed up at Austin, etc...



Sunday we spent almost the entire day at Splash Country Indoor Waterpark.

The kids had a great time there!!!

There is a HUGE 3-story tree house with slides and different water activities.

A huge bucket at the very top. When it fills up with water, a bell rings...and if you are below...you better watch out!!

These were Phoebe's favorite thing...she would push the water down, then it would splash back on her.

Zach playing basketball...they had a pool just for basketball.

On the lazy river....my favorite!
