I wanted to share a little about our weekend trip we took a couple weekends ago.  Our family really enjoys going to Branson, MO.  It's a relatively short drive from where we live so it's just far enough away to feel "gone" but close enough that it's an easy weekender, it also doesn't hurt that a friend of ours owns a condo there!

Here's a picture of the backside of the condo's...

They are located right next to the Payne Stewart Golf Course and are really lovely!  It's never crowded and we normally have the pool all to ourselves.  It's a great place to just hang out as a family and recharge.

This time we visited the HOLLYWOOD WAX MUSEUM and surprisingly it was really fun!  We got some great pics of the kids hanging with their celebrity friends however those are my phone and for some reason it's being a jerk by not allowing me to share them!

We love to go to the downtown area and explore the antique shops & BRANSON LANDING.  One of our favorite places that is a must go to each time is Dick's 5 and Dime.  You would not believe all the stuff jammed into this place!  Our kids really have a field day in there!  Although, you'll need more than a dime if you want to buy something! Ha!  

We've never really taken the time to wait around for the water, light & fire show at the Fountains.  We did this year and it was awesome!  It was so hot that the mist from the water cannons really cooled us off!  On our next visit we're going to make sure to visit the Fountains at night, we were told that was something we shouldn't miss.  I'm not a great videographer but here's a short clip of what it was like...

Can you imagine how awesome that must be a night?!  Just watching our video's makes me ready to go back already!  I can't believe we are right around the corner from school starting back again.  Summer has flown by this year for us.  What about you?

If you aren't already then I'd love to have you follow along...

Today I'm dedicating my blog to my best friend!

I love him for so many reasons that I couldn't possibly list them all.  Here is just a few...

I can be myself when I'm with him.

He loves Jesus.

He has faith in me.

He is the one who holds the key to my heart.

He makes me feel safe

He is a wonderful dad.

I can't imagine life without him.

We've been together through thick & thin and each valley has made us stronger as a couple and as parents.  He is 41 today.  

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

We are getting away for a much needed break and some quality family time.  Can't wait...

Be safe and I'll have some new projects that I'll be finishing up for later next week to show ya'll.

Snow Day!

This is what we woke up to this morning!

 

Even Marley, the wiener dog, didn't want to venture out.  It was beautiful & coooold.

 

School was canceled so we all snuggled up in our beds for awhile before finally getting around.  We decided to bake some muffins for breakfast, build a big, warm fire and have hot cocoa.  I love snow days!  

 

Wherever you are today I hope you are having a wonderful day!  See ya!

Payne Stewart Golf Club - Eagle Bunker Condos

When our family went to Branson for an Old Time Christmas we stayed at the Eagle Bunker Condo's which is part of the Payne Stewart Golf Course in Branson, Mo.

 We normally stay in a condo on Lake Table Rock at Indian Point, but thought we'd try something new and heard that these were fabulous.  Let's just say, they are beautiful...

Just in case your ever  heading to Branson and need a place to stay -- check out these condos. They have 2 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms and are completely stocked with everything you might need except FOOD! However, there are several restaurants very close by along with a Super Target & a pharmacy. Plus, the beds are heavenly!

Till next time...See ya! :)
