Branson Vacation Day 3 & 4

Ok, so it's Saturday, July 4th, and I'm just now finding time to finish our Branson vacation update. This may take awhile to finish because I'm also watching "Sex and the City", the movie. Yeah, I know, I should focus on one thing or the other and I have a feeling I'm going to have to rewatch this movie because I've had to fast forward through some parts that are not PG related:)

So lets begin....

End of Day 3: no we did not make it to White Water. Baby did not wake up until 5ish and then we of course had to feed him and ourselves, so we went to eat at Uptown Cafe. This was the place that for some reason Sami wanted to make sure we were done eating and gone before the entertainment started. I guess she was worried that like at Hard Luck Diner, someone would come sing to her like they did the boys.

Then more shopping...We did do ALOT of shopping while in Branson, basically because we're limited to what we can do with a baby. Shows are out, too long for a baby to sit through and the tourist sites, my kids wouldn't be interested.

While at Tanger Outlet, yes, I went to the Coach Factory because Scott finally said yes, I can get a purse!!! Yay!! So I did get a purse and a wallet for half the price.

After that, we went back to the new hotel, the Radisson (the hotel with the sleep-by-number beds), and the kids wanted to go swimming so I took the top two swimming while Scott put Trevor down for bedtime. Apparently, all parents had the same idea. That pool was packed!!! Sami met a new friend there. She says her name was "Merate" from Texas, but I'm really not sure if that was the little girl's name or not. Anyways those two had a ball swimming and jumping and getting away from Tyler. Later, I had asked her what the little girl's dad asked her when she was introduced to him. She said the dad asked where she was from and Sami replies real seriously: "America." I had to giggle when she told me that, but she is telling the truth. So I guess he asked where in America of which then she told him "Union, MO." Sometimes Sami can be a character and I love listening to her talk about some things because she gets so serious.

Day 4:

We took it easy on Saturday. Went to breakfast at Golden Corral and then we went to Branson Landing a little bit later. I really like going there. They have done such a good job making it nice.

While there, we took Trevor to Build-A-Bear (Sami and Tyler built one a couple of years ago so we thought we would get Trevor one too). Sami and Tyler did help with Trevor's though. It was fun, we had the bear made and fluffed, added a sound and heart, and even picked out a "Harley Davidson" t-shirt for the bear. We made the bear's birth certificate and named it "Bubba" just like we call Trevor. Trevor loves his bear. He gives it kisses every now and then and also hugs it but then gets bored with it and throws it on the ground. Then there's a new store called Rides Maker and it's the same thing as Build-A-Bear but with cars/trucks. Tyler wanted to make a car so we let him. I have pictures of that with a big smile of when he was done creating it.

Branson Landing also has a nice fountain area of which we stopped for a few minutes to sit and let the kids put their hands in it and splash themselves to cool down.
