Branson 2016

We were fortunate enough to spend the last week of July in Branson with Ben's parents. They spoiled all of us rotten with mini golf, go karts, Silver Dollar City, food, shopping, ice cream, and a wonderful condo with a pool! 
First thing the girls wanted to do! 
Pirate Golf
Arrrrrrr! 
Outlet mall shopping
 We had so much fun at Silver Dollar City. The girls were big enough to ride plenty of the rides. The crowds weren't bad at all and they were able to ride as many as they wanted! They both loved getting splashed on the river ride, getting dizzy in the teacups, and climbing around in the kiddie treehouse. They also loved their first roller coaster ride! It rained a bit on the second day we were there, but I don't think anyone minded slowing down for a while - - especially Natalie - she fell asleep despite being carried around in the rain!

Nat did not want to stop for a potty break! 
Nat was just so tired
They got to ride up front in the shuttle back to the parking lot

Charlotte was tall enough to drive her own kiddie go kart this year! She loved it!! 

 They both loved the Frog Hopper :)

Riding the trolley in Downtown Branson
such a vicious roar! 
The girls did great in the car and I can't believe how different it was being away from home with two kids completely out of diapers, bottles, pacis, and able to delay or skip naps without nuclear meltdowns!
We had such a wonderful time and made so many great family memories. Thank you so much, Jim and Val, for making it possible!
