Gram and Poppy came to visit us Friday morning. They arrived in time to eat lunch with Claire at school, which was a huge surprise for her! We went out to the pumpkin patch that afternoon and carved a pumpkin that evening before heading to bed. Saturday morning was an early one...everyone was excited about our trip to Branson! We headed to Silver Dollar City. It was a beautiful fall day and the perfect kind to spend with your grandparents riding rides and having fun! Poor Geoff had to hobble around in his knee brace, but he was trooper, and we got all the favorite things done before shutting down the park! We stayed in Branson that night at the Grand Country Inn which is a large complex with an indoor water park. After having some pizza, the kids "dove" in to the lazy river, slides and hot tubs that were right behind our hotel. Sunday morning was more of the same, while Mommy and Daddy went to the outlet mall. The kiddos had a super time going down the slides "25 times", as Gram estimates, before finally leaving for lunch. A trip to the Butterfly Palace was slipped in before departing our separate ways home. Everyone was happily exhausted after the trip...Thank you very much Gram and Poppy! We have more pictures that I'll download soon. They are on Geoff's phone and mostly from the Butterfly Palace. It was amazing to watch all these butterflies flit around within touching distance.
