Family Tradition

     Look who we found in Branson, Missouri, well we actually met them there for our annual family vacation, This has been a tradition for our family for many years now. We decided not  to participate in the hustle and bustle of Christmas gift giving when our daughter was a young  child. It was then we made the decision to make memories every Christmas season for as long as we can. So this is our vacation for Christmas 2018 in Branson, MO. 
Just a selfie on Table Rock Lake. Such a beautiful day in a beautiful place.



We started our vacation with a trip to Table Rock Lake. Here is Jennifer looking for
arrowheads. They still wash up to this day. Of course she could just be looking for rocks.
She has been known to pick up a rock here and there.

Of course you can't go to Branson without a trip to Silver Dollar City. This place is
awesome all year long, but it is absolutely amazing during the holidays. With over
6.5 million lights and the best food you can find anywhere, Silver Dollar City has
been called the most illuminated theme park on earth. This picture was taken in
Midtown. They also have a new Roller Coaster called Time Traveller. The world's
tallest, steepest, fastest spinning roller coaster. It is pretty awesome!

Here is the entrance to Midtown

This is inside Bass Pro Shops Wonders of Wildlife Museum in Springfield, MO.
If you have not been to the headquarters of Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, it is definitely
a must see at some point in life. It has a top notch aquarium and amazing displays of live and
mounted animals. I know this is not the most adventurous blog we have written, but this is
also a family tradition. Therefore, it is also more private than most, so I will end it here.
