On Saturday morning we left St. Louis with the Chudzick family and started our 4hr drive to Branson, MO. We met up with Graham's parents, Cyndee and Al, in Branson for our annual family vacation. Cyndee and Al found a great 4bdrm, 4.5 bath house for us to stay in for the week that was plenty big for us and all of our stuff! The week pretty much consisted of boating in the morning on Alyssa and Andy's boat, naps for the kids, and then the pool in the afternoon. It was a very fun but super relaxing week. The kids were so good all week which made the vacation that much better:)

One afternoon and the following morning we went to Silver Dollar City, which is pretty much a smaller version of Six Flags with a much cuter atmosphere. We were surprised at how many rides Payton could go on with an adult. He rode a roller coaster with Daddy and Grandpa Al and almost made it through without being scared:) Apparently there were some scary looking monsters and scary sounds near the end.

The guys managed to get a game of golf in and the ladies had a spa afternoon consisting of massages, pedicures and facials.

The week was a success and fun was had by all. Thanks again to Graham's parents for a wonderful vacation!
