Labor Day in Branson, MO

So this year we went to Branson, Missouri for Labor Day weekend. This was a John family trip celebrating Randys' parents 40th anniversary. We were able to go to Silver Dollar City, which Randy and I hadn't been to since we were little kids.

And boy were we surprised with how much it had changed! It has really turned in to a full-on amusement park!

That is Randys dad waving with Randy behind him. Bubba (Randys brother) is two seats over from Randy in the green shirt and our friend Russ is next to dad in the red shirt. They all came out okay!

Of course the park still had Fire in the Hole...

and the log ride...

Classics!! There was something for everyone! It did get a little tiring for the kids to walk... but they found ways to get around it.

We all had a good time...

Here I am with my sisters-in-law (is that how you say it?!) Julie and Anne.

Austin with his cousins Drew and Tanner.

And here is Avery on the train ride with Grandma John, Tanner and Rachel.
But to be honest with you... I think the kids had the most fun pushing eachother up and down the walkway on this luggage cart!!
