Branson

   This past weekend we took a mini vacation to Branson as a family of four. It was a little interesting with a 10month old and a 3yr old. We probably couldn't of been in the car any longer than 3 hours.. thank goodness for dvd players in cars! We left on Friday after lunch, took us about 3 hours to get there. We were able to check in our room and had 30 min. to spare before the dixie stamped. Jazi of course was just thrilled to see as she calls them the yehaws! It was a very cute show of course the girls started to get a little restless towards the end. But all in all Friday was a good day. Jazi told us on the way back to the room "I had a good day" Just loved hearing her say this. 

           Saturday we had lunch and did some shopping which is of course is interesting with two little girls who don't know the true meaning of shopping quiet yet :) Since my birthday was a few days prior to this I was lucky to get to go to the Coach outlet, which by the way I was crazy for always paying full price for before. After a long day of dragging the girls around and the hubby, we went back to the room so they could nap. They all three took a little nap while mommy snook away for a little while. All four of us being in the same room was a little trying at times. So that is why it was a short vacation, not sure we could of all survived a week. That evening we went to the fish house which was a restaurant on the the river next to the bass pro shop. Jazi loved getting to see the fish, well she was pretty scared of the fish tank we sat next to at dinner. She has become quiet the chicken lately telling me she is scared of everything. But at the pass pro shop she liked the fish there and the bambi's. We walked the Branson landing which is super nice by the way.. cute little water show that Jazi and Juliana enjoyed. Oh I did forget to mention as we passed the go cart track on the way to eat she said I wanna go there. And on the way back it was closed so we told her we promised we would go tomorrow. I didn't think she would really ride to be honest. 

     Sunday morning we got up and packed and got ready to check out of the room. As we are doing this Jazi keeps saying "I like my room". I think she had a fun time staying in the room. So as we promised we headed to the go cart tracks first. We asked her if she wanted to ride and of course she said YES. So her and daddy rode the bumper boats first.. she thought she was going to get to swim. She did enjoy that. But not as much as the go carts. I thought Jas would have to go slow because she would be a little scared. Wrong.. she loved it. I could tell each time they passed me by the look on her face she was having a blast. That is when I knew it wouldn't matter where we went for vacation she will always have fun. We then took her to the disney store and few others that we had missed on sat. she picked a bambi out of all the princess stuff she hasn't put him down since. We headed back home after lunch and both the girls slept most of the way. 

      I feel very lucky to be able to treat our girls to this vacation. This is something we dont do often but something we need to make a habit out of.  Jason isn't far out from being deployed once again.. so I am glad we got to do a small get away before all the chaos begins. I am looking forward to a vacation for me and him when he gets back :)
