Mini Vacation

We officially kicked off summer with a trip to Branson with my sister-in-law Julie and her kids Chase and Rachel. Sadly, our pictures were accidentally deleted, but I'll give you the run down anyway.

We left from our friends the Sallees bright and early Friday morning and headed to Silver Dollar City. What a great day! The weather was perfect, and we all got to do the things we wanted to do. The kids spread their wings a little running around with Chase and his friends without me. A little scary for this mom! Hailey will be getting a phone this week thanks to that experience. They had a lot of fun, and I got to wander around and enjoy the shops and yes....bluegrass and barbeque.

That evening we went to The Landing for a little shopping and a fun dinner at Garfield's. The Cardinal's game was on, so we asked for a booth where we could see. We are all big fans. Chase doesn't like to miss a game, so it was perfect and all the food was delicious. We went back to the hotel and let the kids swim.

Saturday we were off to Tanger first thing. Who knew $1 flip flops could cause such a scene! The best part of the day was our stop at The Track for a little racing action. Not that we are competitive at all. We all had such a good time. Summer has officially started!
