Branson Vacation 2012

Branson might not be the Caribbean, but it suited us just fine! We rented a cabin tucked away in the woods and just 2 miles from Silver Dollar City. It had four bedrooms, so we had lots of space and enjoyed some good family time. My parents and Greg's went with us, so our kids were loved on endlessly all weekend long.
We kicked off the trip with a little outlet mall shopping-- which with two kids in tow is a short trip! The first night there we went to Branson Landing for dinner and ran into Santa! Jake was in awe! He told Santa he wanted "all the toys!" I guess he was covering all his bases. The boys both did great in pics with Santa.
The next day, Eli and I spent the morning gazing at the scenery and napping, while Dad and Jake played a little putt putt golf. After lunch, we headed out to Silver Dollar City for some Christmas fun! It was decorated beautifully and even had a parade!


















We spent the following day at SDC again! More rides, more food, more fun!















Jake enjoyed the entire park, but I think he was MOST excited when he got to play carnival games and won prizes. He popped a balloon with a dart on the first try! I don't know who was more surprised- us or him!









Victory Dance!!



And cherishing all his winnings!

We are so blessed and grateful to have parents we enjoy vacationing with! I hope this is an annual tradition!

Let the Holidays begin....
