For a summer getaway Madeline and I took a trip to Branson, MO with my mother, my husband's mother, and two of my aunts for 4 days/3 nights. Madeline did great on our long car ride and staying the three nights at the hotel. On our trip we did some shopping, eating, and went to a show.

Oh yes, we rode the
Ducks while we were there too! Madeline slept for most of the ride but woke up when we splashed into the river.

The show we went to was
Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. The show had alot of action and horses so it was enough to keep Madeline's interest for most of the hour and a half show. They also had wonderful food: creamy vegetable soup, a whole rotissorie chicken, pork tenderloin, potato, corn on the cob and an apple turnover. Yummo!

Yes, you can get up close and personal with the horses in the show. As you are walking in and leaving you walk right by the horse stalls which the kids (and adults) just love!
One of our favorite mall areas was
Branson Landing. It's a newer outdoor shopping area with restaurants and hotels/condos. Very nice!
Madeline strolling by the flowers.
More pretty flowers at Branson Landing.
Every hour in the middle of Branson Landing they have a water/fire show right by the river.
Here's a view of the fire show with Branson Landing in the background.

Glad you all had fun! Did Mads get to "drive" the duck?
ReplyDeleteAnd I had to laugh at you calling that a long car ride. :)
Haha, 5 hours is a long ride for me!!! I'm not a good road tripper!
ReplyDeleteNo, Mads didn't drive the duck. She probably could have but we had tons of kids on the duck who wanted to drive. Jenna must have driven?
Hope you are all well. Miss you both!
