So I am finally posting pictures from our Vacation. We had a
blast with AJ's family. We stayed the first half of the week at
Big Cedar Lodge near Branson. It was amazingly beautiful.
We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom cabin with AJ's sisters &
their husbands & kids. AJ's parents stayed in their own cabin
next door. We were overlooking the lake and it was
breathtaking. Big Cedar was the coolest resort we have ever
stayed at. We definitely want to go back. You have to look at
their website to see all the awesome stuff they have. We spent
every day swimming. They have 4-5 pools & a lazy river. My
favorite was sitting in the pool while the boys went down the
rock slide over and over again! We had a full kitchen in our
cabin so we made meals and ate together for each one. The
girls and I were in charge of breakfast and AJ's mom made
the other meals. One day we took a tram ride through
Dogwood Canyon. This was also just breathtaking. It was
about 10
degrees cooler
there which was nice. It was a 2 hour ride. We brought
lunches
and ate on the tram. We saw bison, elk, 200 year old trees,
covered bridges, waterfalls, longhorns, fish and just more of
God's nature than you could hardly take in. I am the most
happy when I'm outside enjoying God's creation...plus
enjoying
it with family....it was perfect.

After Big Cedar we stayed right in the heart of Branson. It
was
kind of abrupt...going from one extreme to the next. But
we
had a good time. One of the most fun things was going to
Dixie Stampede. The boys LOVED it. They serve you a meal
during the show that you eat entirely with your hands. How
fun
is that? Fun. Seriously...nothing a pregnant girl likes more
than some food during her entertainment. ;) The last couple
of days
were just with our little family and AJ's sister Tonya & her
little family. We did a lot of outlet mall shopping which was
great. I
really do not enjoy shopping that much so I was so happy to get
a lot of our fall shopping for the boys (well mostly Avery) over
with. We also ate at some fun restaurants and enjoyed playing games
after
the boys went to sleep. One really cool place we ate
at had singing waiters/waitresses. Two of them had been contestants
last year on American Idol. It was so fun.
It was such a great week and I'm so very thankful to have such
great in-laws. They are a blessing to my life.
