For three years in a row now we have traveled to Branson to spend some time at Christmas with my family. This year we left Christmas Day and stayed for 3 nights in a really fun log cabin at the Silver Dollar City Wilderness Campground. When we arrived on Christmas Evening, there wasn't anything open to eat, so we brought along some PB&J sandwiches, microwave mac & cheese and soup. It was an unusual Christmas dinner, but still super yummy.
The first morning we hit the outlet malls for some After Christmas sales. Tons of bargains! That night we went to the Dixie Stampede Christmas Show. Harper and Owen were in awe! They loved the show...but most of all the horses. Everytime the horses would leave the arena, Owen would yell, "Neighs! Neighs!" Owen ate like a champion too. Harper was still slightly disgusted by the entire chicken laying on her plate. She did all of the fixins though. That night was when the fun began. Harper and Owen ended up sleeping in the bottom full size bunk with me, while Richard slept up top in the inferno. As we were going to sleep, the two kids would not stop tickling, kicking, laughing, etc. Finally, I told them to stop. Then they did something that cracked me up and Harper said, "Mom, your breaking your own rules!" Where does she get this stuff? Then later on, Owen said, "Not funny Mommy! Not funny!" Needless to say after about a ten minutes of this, Harper ended up sleeping the last two nights with Grandma and Boppy in their bed.
The next day, we headed to Branson Landing for some more shopping and to see the "fishy store" (aka Bass Pro). We got to Silver Dollar City right as it opened that afternoon and stayed the rest of the afternoon/evening there. Harper and Owen got to ride a ton of rides...really cold rides. We also had a front row seat to the Christmas Light Parade. It was a wonderful, relaxing trip!!!
