Branson, Missouri

Over Labor Day Weekend we enjoyed a nice family vacation in Branson, Mo at the Suites at Falls Creek. It was great getting away and spending time just as a family doing things together.

 As soon as we arrived the kids couldn't wait to get into the pool. They got to swim to their hearts content.

 Enjoying the hot tub.

 Our resort also had a mini-golf course so we took advantage of this every day.

There were several fun obstacles. 

 The favorite: hitting the ball through the alligator's mouth.

 Kayla getting a little coaching from dad.

 Nice shot!!

 Me and Craig were tied up until hole 18 when I hit a hole-in-one!!

 We also enjoyed swimming outside in the big pool.

 And the little pool.

Craig's friend, Glen, came up one day while we were there. They went Ziplining and had a great time. Sorry no pictures.

 Kids playing with toys on our screened patio.

 Gotta love silly faces!!

 They enjoyed watching movies together at night before bed.

 Kayla having fun at the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One day the resort had inflatables for the kids to enjoy.  They love these big slides.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Bounce Bounce!!

The kids also LOVED the jetted tub in our room!

 Our last day in Branson we headed to Silver Dollar City. We walked staight up to our first ride--American Plunge

 And we got soaked!!

 Next up was Fire in the Hole. Kayla did great on it though she said it was scary and didn't want to do it again. Austin however LOVED it and wanted to do it again and since there was practically no line we went again!!

 Lost River of the Ozarks......both kids LOVED this ride!!

 Craig went with the kids on the Riverblast which is basically a water fight between those on the boats and those on the the land.

 Kids gearing up to soak some boat riders.

Let's get them!!!





These boats went super fast in a circle and I must admit I did not like them. I don't really like the spinning rides but the kids don't seem to mind them.

 Getting ready to ride on the giant swinging boat.

 Me and Kayla rode on the swing carousel.

 I rode with Austin on Thunderation....his first "BIG rollar-coaster." I was worried as we were riding it that he was going to be too scared but he loved it and wanted to do it again. So we did.

We all went on the Flooded Mine.

 The objective was to take aim at targets with your pistol and compete for points. The kids had fun doing this and of course Craig scored the most points.

We had a super fun time at Branson and Silver Dollar City.

I love family vacations!!
