Trip to Branson

El Guapo and I were able to take a fun little trip to Branson, Missouri last week. All of the store managers in El Guapo's district won a three day, two night trip with their spouses. We had a great time, and thanks to lots of great friends from church, we didn't worry about our kids. Well, not too much anyway.

On our way there we drove under a McDonald's that Ned, Dusty and Lucky would have loved. It is built right over the freeway.
El Guapo pretended to feed the trucks his french fries. He knew the boys would get a kick out of this picture.


We arrived in Branson at about 5:30 on Wednesday night. We first went to dinner at Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater where El Guapo ordered some fried pickles. I think our boys would have loved them.



We decided to go to a show with some of the other couples. We saw Pierce Arrow. One of the men in the group, Tim Storms is in the Guinness book of world records for the lowest note produced by a human. I took a little video clip. You are not supposed to take video of the show so I just turned on the camera to record how low his voice was. It is pretty amazing.

Overall the music was ok, but the comedian was the best part.

The next day we went to Silver Dollar City. It was so much fun! We were the only ones that really enjoyed it. We both LOVE to ride roller coasters. There is nothing like screaming at the top of your lungs. It's a great way to blow off some steam!
El Guapo went on a water ride and was totally soaked.

That evening we all went to the Dixie Stampede. It was pretty fun. I liked the food. There was one woman in the group that refused to eat because they made you eat with your hands. :)
Of course El Guapo had to wear his Lakers shirt because they played that night.

We had a very pretty view from our hotel room. It is really a pretty town with lots of fun things to do. We are so glad we were able to go.
