Fun in Hot Springs

The Hot Springs Church sets up on this beautiful hill. Perfect for a Giant water slide!

She made it to the end!

 

This is my Dad.  First hilarious part- My dad in Shorts! Second- My dad in a Hawaiian Shirt! Third- My dad in a straw hat! Fourth- My dad on a slip-n-slide!!  If you know my dad, you know that none of these things go with him(He mows the lawn in a shirt and tie)!!

We went down to Hot Springs for a Pioneer Day Celebration at the Church.  They had this huge water slide set up and the kids/adults all loved it!  I was a little jealous at the fact that we never got to do this growing up!! 

Trish and Gabby came for a visit this past week.  It has been a year since I have seen them, so it’s been great to have them here.  We decided to go to the lake for a little change of scenery.  All the kids loved it!  They were a lot of fish swimming around us so the kids had fun trying to catch them…….nobody was successful. 

Branson with the Baileys-Part 2

The condos we stayed at had a huge 4th of July Celebration.  We ate hamburgers and hot dogs.  They had this water slide, bounce houses, face painting, and clowns.  It was soooo HOT that we didn’t stay too long, we opted for going back to our pool.  Madison loved this water slide, Livy…..not so much.  She went down it once, and that was enough for her.  That night we watched the fireworks from the balcony of our condo.

Everybody LOVED the bumper boats!  They were all drenched when they got done.  I passed so I could take pictures(and I wasn’t wearing waterproof mascara). 

All in all we had a great time in Branson with all the Baileys and look forward to the next time!

Branson with the Baileys- Part 1

We usually go to Branson every Thanksgiving, but we decided it would be fun to go during the summer for a change.  4th of July weekend turned out to be a perfect weekend to go.  It was fun to get to do some of the “summer” things that we don’t normally get to do in November. 

 

All of us headed to Lambert’s Cafe, “The Only Home of  Throwed Rolls”,  for lunch on Saturday.  It is about 30 miles north of Branson and we had an hour wait, but it was SO worth it!!  This was mine and Micha’s first time going and I am hooked!!  They literally throw you HOT, FRESH, MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH Rolls!!  I have a weakness for hot rolls and these were no exception!!  The kids(and adults) LOVED catching the rolls!

The whole Bailey Gang

Micha ordered Chicken Fried Steak and it was YUMMY and HUGE!!  I love how they served it in a frying pan :)

Saturday night, we all headed to see Kirby.  He puts on a great Magic show that all the kids loved!  Madison really enjoyed it and didn’t want it to end.  The next morning when I asked the girls what they wanted to do, Livy said,”Go to another Magic Show”. 

Heading to the Pool.  It was so HOT, we spent a lot of time at the pool.

The girls enjoyed our big Jacuzzi tub in the condo. 

Micha and Maddy loved going to the game room. I had to show all the boys my mad ping pong skills.  I left undefeated. 

This was Micha’s “Air Hockey Stance”.  We were all laughing at how goofy he looked!
