Branson 2015

We returned home a couple days ago from our annual Branson trip with friends. Brad played a couple rounds of golf with the guys. I woke up super early each morning to run the hills around our rental house. Caleb played a lot with his friends. Tyler ate a lot... with me. The wives had a wonderful lunch at a cute restaurant and celebrated the impending arrival of precious Baby Caroline... we can't wait to meet her in July! We had a wonderful time on our trip, and we are already looking forward to next year!

What's cuter than babies and toddlers playing in their PJs?!

Branson 2014

A couple weekends ago, we took our annual trip to Branson, MO. I always feel like such an old person when I tell people we go to Branson every year, but we really have a great time... and we pretty much avoid all things "Branson'. This was our fourth annual trip with friends, and I'm sure it's a tradition that will continue for years to come. 

We rented a four bedroom house on the west side of town. The guys played a couple rounds of golf. The girls went out for breakfast and pedicures one morning. We took the kids to a beach at Table Rock Lake. We enjoyed the neighborhood pool, playground, and fire pit (s'mores... yum!). After the kids went to bed each evening, the grown-ups stayed up way too late playing Heads Up!












Each year, I love looking back at the photos from the previous years. Look at how our group has grown!

Branson

We returned home Sunday from our annual Branson trip. We started this trip a couple years ago with three other couples. The first two years, the guys played a few rounds of golf while the girls shopped and swam at the neighborhood pool. Both years, we rented nice 4-bed, 3-bath houses in golf club communities.

This year, one of the couples couldn't make it but we invited two other couples to join us. And we also added four babies (11 months, 8 months, and two 7 months) to the group this year!
The guys played a couple rounds of golf, and the girls spent time at home with the babies. We all went to the pool one afternoon, and Caleb "swam" for the first time! We stayed in a wonderful 6-bed, 5-bath house near Table Rock Lake. I can't even imagine how big the house will have to be in a few years!
