Weekend Getaway

This past weekend, we loaded up and headed over to Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, MO. It was just what I needed, a weekend getaway with my boys and some beautiful, sunny weather!


It rained most of Friday evening - so we enjoyed a yummy dinner at one of the restaurants on the resort and headed to the indoor pool. We were literally in the pool two minutes and they closed it due to the weather. So, we rented a couple of movies for the boys and headed back to our room for some movies and snacks. Here is a picture of the boys watching Milo and Otis - they loved it!


The next day was beautiful! We were a little concerned that we were going to be couped up in the room due to rain all weekend - but we were pleasantly surprised. We took full advantage of the sunshine Saturday and spent most all of the day around the pool. The water was heated and just perfect! Lance picked up right where he left off from last summer with his swimming - that boy is a little fish. I am so glad that he enjoys the water as much as he does.

Grayson on the other hand, he was not too sure of the water, it took him a little bit to warm up. But once he did, he was in the water splashing around and enjoying it. It was just so nice to be outside and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air!

Saturday evening, we took the boys to see Dixie Stampede. We thought they would enjoy all the animals and cowboys - and they did! They both enjoyed the show so much. They sat still and watched the show with big eyes - they even got into the little competition of the show. Lance was not too sure about the idea of eating your dinner without silverware. The first thing he asked me after they brought his plate was, "Mommy, where is my fork?"

As you can tell, the boys were not too excited about having their picture taken at the stampede. Here is our best shots.

After the Dixie Stampede, the boys wanted to head back to the pool.

We ended the evening roasting smores over a campfire - there is just something about a nice, warm, gooey smore that hits the spot!

It was a great weekend - we had so much fun spending time together! Love my boys - all 3!
