Summer Family Vacation 2014


We decided to take a mini vacation to Branson with my parents and had a really great time. We spent 3 days in a row at Silver Dollar City which was a lot of fun, but also super tiring. Aidan and Nora were at such great ages for the park and while it was challenging with a baby, it was still very worth it.



We tried for a family pic, but getting five people to look at the camera at the same time is nearly impossible. This was day 3 at the park, and we were a little weary, but ready for some more fun.


Our first night there, we took a walk down to the lake near where we were staying. Enna was such a trooper during the whole trip. She spent a lot of time in the stroller, but was pretty happy even when she had to nap on the go. She is officially the fist baby I've had that actually napped in the stroller.


These two sillies waiting for a ride. The park was pretty crowded even though we went during the week, so there was a lot of waiting in lines. They did great and were pretty patient.


This girl wanted to ride with her Daddy. She was super brave though and she had a great time on most of the rides.


We love the Lost River ride and Nora was nervous about getting wet (which she didn't get wet at all this first time). 


Aidan was super excited about getting wet and ended up getting most of the water this time.


However, 2nd time we tried the ride, Nora ended up getting more soaked than I had ever seen. It was kinda like we threw her in the water. She was wet from head to toe! She thought it was funny thankfully and we changed her clothes right after.


Before we headed home, we spent the morning at a mini golf place that had a dinosaur theme. These pictures had me laughing. This was the first day it was legitimately hot. We had such nice weather for July and it was such a blessing.


On the drive home, everyone was tired, especially our littlest sweetheart. She slept for at least half the trip which was a blessing.

  1. This looks like so much fun! :) We've braved Silver Dollar City once with the girls but they were too little to ride anything. We'll have to try it again now that they're older! :)
