Family Vacation

We went on our first family vacation! And hopefully it was the first of many. We took a little drive down to Branson. Some of us really enjoyed the scenery.


Lily did a great job on the drive down! BJ finished up his work day at 6 a.m. and we headed out right after. I wasn't sure how she would do with 4 hours in a car seat but she did awesome! She was so quiet that BJ slept most of the drive!

While we were in Branson, we had some adventures. We went to a butterfly place. 


We visited a tiny zoo. Lily loved the animals...except the Macaws. As soon as we walked up, they started screeching which sent her into a crying frenzy which made them screech more which made her cry louder. Macaws are prettier from far away...far, FAR away. 



Lily also rose a horse for the first time. One handed?! Looks like we need to be saving up for rodeo lessons. 

We went on a trolley ride, did a little shopping and swung on some swings. 


On our way out of town, Lily went on her first college visit. 

We had a great time and were so thankful for the couple of days to get away. She said she enjoyed the trip but would really like to go someplace with a Whataburger or some mountains. Maybe next year?
