A few days after school ended we went to Branson for our 2nd time this year.
We stopped at Branson Landing and watched the water fountains shooting off to the song "Living on a Prayer." Craig took the kids to the front and they enjoyed the view and the water mist on them.
We spent 2 full days at Silver Dollar City. We got season passes this year so this time we went with some good friends of ours. The kids were excited having friends to do the rides with. We did a lot of rides and I didn't get pictures of them all but did use the I-phone to capture some memories.
Austin and Mikayla are pro's at Thunderation now. In fact, Austin says it really isn't even scary anymore. They did this roller coaster 2 times each day we were there.
Riding the swinging ship which I will admit went a lot higher than I expected!
Macy and Brooklyn on the Carosel
The swings were a popular ride this trip
Mikayla and me on the swings. She loved them! I tolerated them though I am learning that I don't really enjoy the spinning rides. If I'm not careful they will make me sick.
Craig took Austin, Mikayla, and Brooklyn on The Lost River. They all came off soaking wet but even Brooklyn was happy and loved it!
Mikayla always jumps at the opportunity to help and sit with the younger kids on the little kid rides. She enjoys that kind of thing.
Austin was a good sport too and did the same (but tried to avoid the picture taking).
Austin and me tried out the Wildfire Roller Coaster. We were told that it only had 2 loops but it had more like 6 loops. But we both loved it!!
So the 2nd day at Silver Dollar City we convinced Madeline who was also now a "pro" at Thunderation to try it. She was so scared but loved it too.
And since there was no line we did it a 2nd time.
The first day at Silver Dollar City we ended with the log ride and since there was practically no line they rode it at least 3 times. Even Brooklyn! They were soaked!!
And the 2nd day we took Jax with us to ride it.
We attempted to ride the Powder Keg roller coaster a couple times the 1st day but either the line was really long or it was temporarily closed due to rain/lightning. So it was our first stop the 2nd day and had no line so we rode it twice in a row. I was worried how Mikayla would do since Thunderation was the only big roller coaster she had done. And she was scared the first time but when it was done she was the first one to ask to do it again!
More swing time.....this time Mikayla rode with her friend's grandma.
And yes, this little cutie came too. She was the observer of all things and was a great sport!
We had a great time! Can't wait to go back!
