The weekend before Christmas we took a quick trip to Branson. We have heard about all the lights and how pretty it is at Christmas time, so we decided to brave the cold and check it out.
We went to see the play Jonah at the Sight and Sound theater, did a little shopping......
...and of course went to Silver Dollar City
We enjoyed warming up with some hot apple cider...
The kids didn't want to wait in line to see Santa, so we made do with this statue;)
It was a great time, despite the cold and crowds. Thad was tall enough to ride everything except one ride. All our kids are little thrill seekers, so we spent all our time on the big rides, no kiddie rides for them. They didn't even want to stay for the parade. It was getting really dark and cold! I was happy to head back to our warm hotel, but it does make me a little sad that they are growing up so much that we are pretty much past kiddie rides, visiting Santa and parades:(
Where does the time go?
