Branson's House

In June we took the boys to Branson. We stayed for a week in a house that Henry kept calling "Branson's House." Later, when the mysterious man named Branson never showed up, Henry began to call it "the Branson house." It was the boys' first trip to Silver Dollar City. (And Chad and Aunt Karin's first trip too!) Henry still talks about it. A few days ago he asked if we could go back to the Branson house. I was thinking he was a little young for Silver Dollar City and Branson in general, but he had a blast. SDC has an area of rides for toddlers. (Can't say I have ever spent much time in that area before, so I didn't remember it being there.) We also visited Splash Country, the butterfly house and the aquarium.

First Timers

These rides were on Henry's level.
But he was really scared on Fire in the Hole.

Cooling Off--
Why is it always so hot at SDC?

Moonshine Beach is the only sand beach on Tablerock Lake.

I love how clear the water is.

The Landing

Kaden checks out a butterfly.

They liked Aunt Karin's orange shirt.

Just like Alpha Pig on "Super Why" with his magnifying glass.

Bear

We spotted a bear in the parking lot of the condo in Colorado. (We were safely watching from the second storey window.) Maybe if you click on the image you can see it. The bear was trying to steal a snack from the dumpster and the guy in the foreground was chasing it off.
