Day 1 of vacation!

We arrived in Branson after 11 Sunday night.  We were happy to be welcomed by a freezing cold room and  awesome beds!  There were 6 pillows on each bed!  

Cade took this pic of Riley and I playing Jewel Quest.  With 2-laptops, 5 cell phone, an ipod and a tv we are all able to find something to do in our room together...alone!

Breakfast was a quiet affair with only a 6 hours of sleep.  This morning we all slept through breakfast.  Alarm tomorrow...I don't like missing a free meal!

Before we headed out for the day the boys and dad took a swim.

We got to have lunch with dear friends from Arkansas...The Waggle AND Colton (the middle red shirt).  It's been almost 5 months since we spent any time together...way to long!

The Waggle's found this great arcade.  It's $5 to play unlimited arcade for an hour, $8.95 to play all day and $19.95 for the week!  It's a huge arcade and it's all free once you pay your entry fee.  We paid for the week so we can get the boys out of the heat some this week.

 

Colton and Boston...one of Boston's best buds from Arkansas

The arcade is also full of XBox 360 and PS3 and tons of other video games too!

After lunch and the arcade we headed to the Castle of Chaos for their 5-D ride and  to the House of Mirrors.  The  boys got a few busted noses in the house of mirrors:)

Last night we went to Silver Dollar City with the Waggles.  Bran rode his first roller coaster.  After he found out that Josh was terrified of the giant swing (scream like a girl terrified) he realized that maybe he could live through one ride.  HE LOVED IT!

Today is mine and Bran's 15th anniversary!  We are spending it with our 3 favorite people at Ripley's and Yakov's Dinner show.  More tomorrow!
