Branson - Part 3

Yes, I know it's absolutely ridiculous to have a 5 day trip to Branson in 3 posts but when you don't vacation often, it is a big deal. And it was such a fun trip. So here is the last Branson post.

On Sunday, we rented a pontoon boat and tube to get some time on the beautiful lake.

None of us have much experience on a boat but the guys were so excited to drive and we were just excited to do something different and let the kids experience something new. I accidentally forgot our snack bag so mom bought some snacks for the kiddos to enjoy on the boat.

The boat was great!!! Large enough for the kiddos to move around some and plenty of seats for all of us. Seriously, it was just what we needed. Although the guys would have preferred a speed boat. Cameron loved the boat more at slower speeds when it wasn't as windy and could see the other boats well.

The first big wake we hit totally drenched mom who really had no intention of getting in the water. She just laughed with all of us. She is soooo great.

When we were getting good speed, it was kind of chilly so we bundled up the kiddos in towels. 

David loved driving and aren't I just adorable holding up the flag to indicate we have someone in the water.

David was the first to go in the water and he went with a big splash. He tubed first and definitely the most of all of us.

We got lots of cuddling or in some cases wrangling/holding kiddos on the boat. Cameron even feel asleep for a little while on grandma.

David & Allison tubing together.

Daniel also really liked driving the boat and did a majority of it during the tubing. The kiddos really wanted to help out - so cute.

Erin tubing. Cameron cuddling with me :) which I loved.

Hannah really liked watching everyone tub. Daniel tubing.

The kiddos watching the action and enjoying some swimming/floating.

David tubing with Hannah - at nice slow speed of course. 

Allison tubing with Cameron & David and Hannah.  Daniel tubing with Cameron. 

The lake & boat was a blast. And when we talked about it later, it was the best of the trip especially for the guys.

After the lake, we rested and cleaned up to go back to the Landing for the evening. David & Hannah - so precious.

All of the girls together. Allison and Hannah.

Enjoying some yummy drinks and food at Cantina Laredo.

After dinner, we went to enjoy the water/fire show on the river.

It was fun and we all enjoyed it.

The next day we packed up and headed home. We hoped to stop at Lambert's to eat lunch but Cameron was running a fever again and just not feeling too good so we grabbed a quick bite and headed home. Thankfully the kiddos slept some. 

It was a great time. We are tremendously blessed to have each other and get to take some time for a vacation together.

Blessed.
