Family Fun in Branson

A couple of weeks ago we drove to Branson to spend some time with the Downs side of the family. We stayed at a place called StoneBridge and stayed in two cabins that have four big bedrooms in each one. We had a good time swimming and fishing every day there at the resort. The weather was great considering it was the middle of summer. We stayed three days and enjoyed visiting with each other since all of us are together only once a year. The cousins had a great time and played so well together. Our cabins were at the end of a cul-de-sac so we didn't have to worry about traffic and the kids went back and forth between the cabins a lot. We ventured into Branson once or twice but pretty much had everything we needed right there at the resort.

My girls wanted to fish every day and luckily they have a couple of uncles that love to fish too. Even when the girls weren't fishing down by the water, they spent a lot of time just casting their fishing poles in the grass. I never knew how much fun they could have just doing that over and over and over.

Thinking about it now I don't remember any of the kids having a meltdown, just me. Lack of sleep at night and hormones are a dangerous combination. Yikes! I am sorry about that and feeling a little embarassed.

We were sad to see everyone go their separate ways at the end. Anna was going through Sophie (her cousin) withdrawal for days!
