Spring Break Mini Trip

Last week, we packed up for a few days and headed to Branson. We bought season passes to Silver Dollar city, and we were excited to visit when the park opened for the season. 
After an early dentist appointment, we packed in the car, and headed out. 
Addy turned her toothbrush and sunglasses from the dentist in to a fun toy. 
When we arrived, we met up with my mom and niece. The girls were SO excited to see their cousin!
After some shopping, we stopped for ice cream before heading to the condo.  
We checked in, and headed right to the pool. 



After swimming, we headed to a late dinner at the resort restaurant, and the girls had Shirley Temples for dinner. It's kind of their thing there. 

Wednesday morning, we were excited for a day at Silver Dollar City! 
Our first stop was the candy shop! We saw them making fudge, and bought some treats to enjoy. 

Chocolate covered rice krispy treats. Yes, please. 
Then we headed to the flooded mine. 

And over to the carnival area. We usually do a few rides in this section, but the girls wanted to try a few more this time! 
We stopped for lunch, and then headed to fireman's landing, and Lucky was there! The girls were so excited to meet him. 

These cousins are the best of friends. 
And I sure did love when this guy caught back up with us! He spent all of his morning waiting in line for the new Time Traveler roller coster. 
We ended our day with a train ride. 
and then we enjoyed a funnel cake. 
On our way out, we discovered the name of the grape harbor. I've been coming to Silver Dollar City since I was a little girl, and I'm pretty sure I've never noticed this! 
We headed for dinner and had a much longer wait than we anticipated. Thank goodness, we brought ipads along with us. 
Thursday morning, we hugged Gee and Yaya goodbye, and stopped at the resort park to play for a bit. 



And then we drove down to the lake, and explored the dam museum.  They had a fun little kids area to play in. 
And I totally failed at getting a good picture of the girls with the dam. Oh well. 

We had a great little trip. It was fun to get away and have some family time.
