We took our first official family trip with just the four of us. A 3 hour drive to Branson, MO. We decided to go to Silver Dollar City which is an amusement park and ended up buying season passes. We stayed at Westgate Branson Woods resort. So much fun! A huge advantage of the south is that everything is FAMILY oriented....traditional family oriented, father, mother, and kids! At Silver Dollar City if you are dressed inappropriately, you cannot get in. This was the one ride Axel was allowed to go on!
Mommy and Axel. We are showing off our matching double chins and blue eyes:-) He loved watching everyone. We heard the Bluegrass family band competition which was crazy cool and Axel was kicking his legs and swinging his arms and squealing the whole time! Loved music! These bands made me think of Grandma Ann with her family Arnoldus band and what they may have sounded like. We LOVED this part more than we thought we would!
We got both of the boys train engineer hats and Austin has been wearing it ever since. There was a toy Thomas the trainset in a store and he threw a massive fit when we left! During the bluegrass festival, after one song, he turned to me and said, "Mom-mom, let's go have some fun!" After he said that 3 times, I left with him to catch more rides. He was not scared of any ride! He and I giggled so hard on the teacups. I took the spinning rides and Tom took the rides with higher heights.
Axel is waving to the camera! We had digital camera issues so these were taken on a disposable camera. Wow-that was a jump back in time. Some actually turned out!
There was a huge tower with about 6 levels and you can shoot these balls all the way to the top. Austin had so much fun loading the guns and shooting like crazy. We are hoping to head back there 2-3 more times this year. It was so wonderful to have 3 full days of just us as a family and no work or school!
