A Little Vacation to Branson

The night we got to Branson we thought we would go to the Mall. Little did we know the mall was a joke! But we did find a little arcade. Michael played a game of pool with Conrad, he had never played pool before and had fun learning. They played "just get a ball in any pocket" kind of pool.

The second day we went to Silver Dollar City for a few hours. Michael found a water pump for the kids to try. Karina was only interested till I tried to take a picture.

We went to Lambert's for dinner. They are famous for being the "Home of the Thrown Rolls". They really do throw the rolls. They also walk around with huge bowls and pots with, fried okra to put on your napkins plus fried sorghum for your rolls, potatoes & onions, macaroni & tomatoes or black-eyed peas. They call them "pass arounds". The food and the service was awsome! If you are ever driving by Ozark, MO stop in and check them out.

We had lots of fun on our little vacation. At Silver Dollar City day three we had lots of looking at the crafts and riding the two rides that would let Karina on them, the frog ride and the butterfly and Caterpillar ride. They had a rule if you were too little you had to ride with a parent. I am not sure how Michael fit in the back of these two rides!? Karina was so funny riding the frogs; every time they bounced she would say, "Weee, Weee, Weee" The first day Conrad only rode on the two rides with Karina and one with swings that spins you around and the swings spin out. He liked them both. The second day we were there he rode a few other rides with Michael while Karina and I rode the two rides over and over. Conrad's favorite was the swings ride.

The drive home was nice and quiet. The kids were all worn out!
