Branson 2012

Paul and Natalie graciously invited us to go to Branson with them for a long weekend.  We were super excited to get away for a couple of days. 

Day 1:

Thursday night, we drove the four hours to get to Branson.  Hadley did surprisingly well!  No crying, no fussing, just a lot of playing with her basketball. 

Day 2:

Hadley watching cartoons in our bed, waiting for us to get ready.

Headed to Branson Landing, an outdoor shopping center.  The cutest stroller buddies I've ever seen.

The water is a lot clearer than this picture.  It really was beautiful and super super windy!

Bass Pro Shops to see the "fishies"

Hadley could seriously watch the "fishies" all day long!  She loves them!  (I had to buy her this hat for $.99 because I didn't anticipate it to be 40*

Hadley making sure Campbell doesn't run off....

Friday night, we went to dinner at Shoguns and then back to the hotel for swimming.  I think Hadley is going to be a little fish...she loves the water!

The pool water was a little cold, so we all piled in the kiddie pool...it was a tad bit warmer.  

My little fishy.

Back to the rooms for bath's and bedtime.

Day 3:

We went outlet mall shopping in the morning...yeah!  I got a lot of great stuff for Hadley! 

After lunch, we went to the Fish Hatchery...Again, Hadley loves fish!  She was thrilled!...and so was her daddy.

Both Hadley and Dane kept pressing their faces against the netting.  The fish think you are going to feed them, so they flock to your shadow.  

Just like her daddy....

Time for Go Carts!  (Now the boys can cross it off their bucket lists)

Both Hadley and Campbell were too small to ride this year, so they just cheered their daddies on.  I told Hadley to yell, "Go Daddy Go"...so she yelled "Daaaaaaddy GOooooo"  (I think it made Ross feel special :)

Love this picture of Natalie and Campbell...

Rossy and Dane won!  He was super excited!

Ross and Avery won the second race too!  Ross said it was so funny, the difference between riding with Dane and riding with Avery.  Dane would yell "Faster" "Yeah" "Go"....and Avery was carrying on an entire conversation in which Ross heard None of.   Girls and boys :)

For dinner we went to Landry's for Seafood.  Hadley looked like such a big girl with her crayons and kids menu.  

Day 4:

We got up, ate a yummy Brunch at what seemed to be the only breakfast place open.  (apparently Branson shuts down in the winter time.)  Breakfast was really good!

Then headed home.  Hadley staying limber in her car seat...  

Thank you to Paul and Natalie for inviting us!  We had such a wonderful time!  Love you guys!
