The boys were able to head up early with Papa Cliff and Grandma Teresa to do a little sight seeing and to check out the fish hatchery.
Once we all arrived at Branson, we headed down to the pool for some relaxation time.
Although his head doesn't go under the water much, Carter still believes he needs to wear goggles at all times when hear the pool.

Emmarie and Kambria had fun with this little frog.
The frog took a liking to Emmarie. Anytime someone else would hold it, it jumped off but with Emmarie it would hold on to her.
She makes a pretty cute frog model.
Saturday morning we woke up early and headed to Silver Dollar City. The weather was great, the lines were short, and we were with good company. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
We started off the day with all the big roller coasters. Klayton has always been our little daredevil, riding every ride he can, but this time Connor stepped out of his comfort zone, took a the plunge and rode Wildfire, Outlaw Run, and Barn Swing for the first time. After his second roller coasters he asked, "Why have I not done this before?" I think we have another roller coaster lover.
The kids had a blast riding on River Blast while Jeff and Papa Cliff shot water at them from the side.
One of the best parts about this trip, Kambria is now 48 inches tall so her (and Emmarie) could ride without us. While we waited we took the opportunity for a selfie.
The next day we just relaxed in the pools around the lodge:
Going around the lazy river.
The kids had fun checking out the pool inside, the hot tube, the lazy river, and the big slide outside:
It was a nice and relaxing weekend with family in Branson.
