After school and work on November 9th, we loaded up and headed for a mini vacation in Branson, Missouri. We stayed at a nice hotel with an indoor pool and breakfast each morning. We also shared adjoining rooms with Dad and Mom.
We were all excited Friday morning to get to Silver Dollar City!
The first ride of the day at Silver Dollar City was "Fire In The Hole". Then a BIG roller coaster called "Powder Keg". Silas was tall enough to ride this coaster and just couldn't wait to ride another ride....so got on with me, Sarah, and Eric. This is a FAST moving coaster with lots of drops and turns, unlike anything he has ever ridden. He was scared silly. I kept my arm over him to help keep him back against the seat. He kept saying, "MMmooOMMmmYYyyy!", with HUGE eyes looking around. It was hilarious! Later he told us that the "Patty Cake" ride was NOT his favorite.

He did it! He may not have loved it, but it is a pretty great coaster.
We all enjoyed all the Christmas lights and decorations all over Silver Dollar City. We also enjoyed several Christmas shows throughout the day at the park.
Phoebe and Silas rode some rides with Popee and some rides together.
During the Cajun Connection Christmas show Phoebe and Silas got to go on stage and dance with one of the performers. Eric and I found some mistletoe....

We spent some time in the fireman's ball shooting area and ate some quick dinner while we watched the Christmas light parade before heading back to our hotel for the night.
The next morning after breakfast we went to a John Denver musical tribute show. Then came back to the hotel for some swimming before eating a quick lunch and heading to our next show.
Saturday afternoon we went to the Sights and Sounds Theatre and watched The Miracle of Christmas show.
I made everyone pose for several pictures near all the pretty Christmas decorations.
Popee and Nanee let Phoebe pick our dinner spot that evening in Branson for a birthday dinner. She picked Pasghetti's Italian Restaurant.
She picked Pasghetti and one giant meatball for her dinner. Happy Birthday, Phoebe!
What a great trip! Branson in the fall is the best and so are fun times with family. #memoriesforalifetime #familyselfie
