We Heart Branson!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is going to Branson the weekend after Thanksgiving! We don't go every year, but we try to go as often as we can. We've been going since I was a child, and I love getting to take my own children now! 

Brent's parents were at our house before the sun rose, and we hit the road! 
We stopped for breakfast at Cracker Barell in Conway...filled our bellies up and the boys picked out some fun little activity books for the road. :)

Our first stop was Branson Landing down on the river. We did a little shopping, but Levi's favorite part was watching the ducks play. 
After lunch, we were finally able to check into our condo. We stayed at Fall Creek, and we loved our condo! It backed up to the water, was super roomy, and was in a great location. I'm sure we will be back!
Dinner Friday night was at Fall a Creek Steakhouse - one of our favorite places :)
The boys thought catching the rolls was so much fun!!




Brody had his "class pet" Alex for the weekend, so he and Beckett had fun sleeping with him on the couch bed. ;)

All of the breakfast restaurants were packed Saturday morning, so we ended up at Krispy Kreme! Yum-O!!
After breakfast, we headed to Tanger Outlets for a morning of shopping! It was so so crowded there, so we didn't stay too long, but we got what we needed. :)
For lunch we found a new favorite place! It was a BBQ place near our room, and it was delish!!

After naps, we finally made our way to Silver Dollar City - my favorite place! 


We rode rides, watched a Frosty the Snowman show, and then watched the lighting of the big Christmas tree at dark. There's nothing like seeing their little faces take in all of the sights and sounds of Christmas. :)

Levi's favorite thing was riding the Silver Dollar City train!
When we got off he said, "Dat was an awesome train!" 
We ended the night with the Christmas parade, and the boys loved it. I'm so happy they got to see it all :)





We had a late supper at Red Lobster...poor Brody didn't last long. I think we all would have liked to do this ;)
It was a short trip - we headed home on Sunday - but we had a wonderful time! I think we are all in the Christmas spirit now!!
