Spring Break

Spring Break was a couple of weeks ago, I meant to post this sooner...but I am just getting around to it now. Instead of staying home all week, we decided to take a small trip with some friends to Branson, Missouri. I must admit, I wasn't really all that excited to go to Branson. After all...my whole life I thought only OLD people went there (and for the most part that is so true)... We left Thursday morning and arrived after about 5 hours.


Cody thought this mobile home(??) on a boat was pretty sweet. He had to have a picture.


We went to the fish hatchery and saw lots and lots and lots of fish. Nothing surprised me more than the fact that Branson has about 1,000 places to mini golf. Seriously they had way too many! But after careful selection (and by careful I mean we drove to at least 3 different courses and scoped them out before selecting the course we wanted to play on) we finally decided on one. Cody was adamant that the course have blue water in the water surrounding the course (that seemed to be a selling point for the more prestigious mini golf courses). We payed $10 bucks each to go into "Hannah's Maze of Mirrors" which was actually really fun. My only complaint was that it was way too short, we were only stuck inside for about 15 minutes before we found our way out. I learned really quickly that I had to walk with my hand out in front of me so I could tell the difference between a real play to walk through or a mirror. On the way home Cody decided it would be awesome to take the scenic route through Arkansas. About 2 hours in we all wondered who had the dumb idea of taking a longer way home!! But we got to stop at this little place a top the Ozarks and have an amazing view. I still don't think it was quite worth the longer drive.



All in all we had a great time with our friends and we were just glad we were able to get out of the house and do a little something fun. We already have plans in the making for a trip down to Broken Bow, Oklahoma to stay in a cabin over Thanksgiving this year!

Old people and all, I'm glad you guys had fun and at least got out of Oklahoma. Sometimes that's just really needed.

It looks like it was a fun adventure. I've never done a house of mirrors but I'm pretty sure I'd have to walk with a hand in front of me as well!!! Cute pictures!
