Family photo time

On our own..






Branson Trip ~ October 2011

Started off early Monday morning loading the car and then headed to Class Day... it was photo day and Miss Ginger made arrangements to get the kiddos group done first so we could be there and still head out fairly early... it worked out great and we were on the road by 9:30 that morning... The drive up was beautiful ~ trees have changed colors and are so pretty driving through the mountains. We stopped at our favorite stop on the way up ~ the Buffalo River ~ 




Monday afternoon, we arrived at the cabin and unloaded and headed into town.  We hit the blacklight 3D mini golf and played a round ~ Roger won... Spaghetti for dinner and then the World Series game!

Tuesday morning, we got up and headed into Springfield- mainly to go to Wilson's Creek & Bass Pro Shops, but also to hit a couple of thrift stores for Halloween Costumes ~ $7 later, we are ready to go! Bass Pro was fun for the kiddos as always, we were there for the fish feeding time and they love hanging out and watching the turtles! 

After a long day out, we headed back to the cabin for grilled chops and roasted taters! Yumm-o!
  

Wednesday ~happy 15th Anniversrary to us ~ we dressed up in matching clothes and took some family portraits on the grounds at Big Cedar... that will be a whole nother post!  Kiddos surprised us with a couples manicure- done by them... and that will be a whole nother post! Dinner out at Charlies Steak House for us ~ kiddos went with Gramma to eat and then swim!

Thursday ~ breakfast, nap by fire, lunch, nap by fire, dinner & then get ready to come home... that was my day!  Kiddos went with Roger and Gramma to the arcade on the grounds & then after lunch, Gramma took them swimming... I hung out at the cabin in front of the fire ALL DAY LONG and did nothing (well, updated my blog!).  We are headed home tomorrow and back to crazy busy life as we know it!

Anniversary Pedi's ~

A surprise from the kiddos!!

For our 15th Anniversary, the kiddos (with Gramma's help) surprised us with a couples pedicure.  They practiced hard the night before - pedis on Gramma, then on each other.  They were so excited and it was so fun!

Wilson's Creek Battlefield

Since we have been studying the Civil War this year, we decided to head to Springfield and visit Wilson's Creek Battlefield.  

In addition to the 4.9 mile battlefield tour, there was also a pretty neat museum.  Here are few pics from the trip there:
