Last weekend, we headed to Branson for our annual Christmas visit to Silver Dollar City. We usually go in December, but finally realized that it is usually freezing, we are miserable and the rides are usually closed because it is too cold. So brilliance hit us and we decided to go in November. It was absolutely perfect weather!
We were out of school on Friday, so we left early Friday morning. We stopped at Lambert's outside of Springfield to eat some super yummy lunch. Lambert's is the place of the "throwed rolls" and our kids love it. They literally stand from afar and throw rolls...all you have to do it raise your hands and a roll comes sailing your way. We had a great meal and full bellies when we left. We arrived at our hotel just in time for the kids to go down for a nap. Grandma, Boppy and I headed to the outlet mall for some shopping while the kids slept and played in the pool. That evening we got all fancied up and went to the Presley's Country Jambroee Show...it was part of their regular show and a special Christmas portion. Both of the kids loved the singing, playing and especially the comedy!
Around noon, we headed to Silver Dollar City! It was all decked out in Christmas Goodness!!!! Just like usual, we rode tons of the kiddie rides...lots of fun. Harper took Cindy, Tony, Richard and I on the big roller coaster, Powder Keg. I still can't believe she is such a dare devil. We spent the rest of our day at Silver Dollar City riding more rides, shopping in the stores, making s'mores, eating everything in sight and watching the parade and huge Christmas Tree.
It was a wonderful early Christmas treat! Now I am just chomping at the bit for Christmas to be here!
