Headed for Branson, MO!!!

So after much debate about what we should do for our summer vacation, we settled on Branson, MO!  My husband goes to Branson nearly every year because his company puts on a huge show choir competition there.  I've been there twice with him and just LOVE it there.  Branson is a little town in the middle of the Ozark mountains.  It's kinda like a Las Vegas because it is a town completely dependent on tourism and has some of the most amazing shows I've ever seen.  Lots of "Mormon" acts there as well--like the Osmonds and Duttons.  It is the MOST religious/family-friendly/patriotic place that I know.  We've been wanting to take our kids here for years and by golly, we FINALLY did it!

It's about a 18 hour drive from Deming that we broke up over 2 days--our kids were amazing in the car.  We drove 12 hours from Deming to Oklahoma City, OK the first day.   The second day we drove the last 6 hours from Oklahoma City to Branson, MO but before we hit Branson we hit one of our most favorite restaurants--"Lambert's--Home of the Throwed Rolls."  Good ol' fashioned-all-you-can-eat home cooking where they literally THROW the homemade rolls to you!  My kids had the best time catching them:

She caught this roll on her first try:)

Then we drove into Branson where we arrived at our WONDERFUL condo--seriously amazing views from our room.  I loved eating breakfast on the back porch watching the fog on the lake in the morning and then we loved catching fireflies every evening.

Fog hovered over the lake most of the day.
