Branson





























We just got back from a two week road trip. We dropped the dogs off at my parents in Cali and then set out for Missouri. We made a quick stop in Utah to watch the opening BYU game. Then off we were to Branson. We were able to spend a week with Doug's parents, Carol & Mick. We saw four of the Branson's shows (SIX, Presley's Country Show, The Grand Jubilee & the Ozarks IMAX). We also took a quick trip to Arkansas. I really wanted to be able to go to Arkansas since it was so close. We got a lot of the rain leftover from the hurricane that hit Louisiana. We came home one night from one of the shows and it had been raining and we found this little frog in the middle of the drive way. He was so cute I wanted to keep him but Doug just laughed so I let him go. I also saw my first fire fly in Branson. I saw these blinking lights in the air and it took me a second to realize what they were. It was an unexpected treat. We also went to this place called the Butterfly Palace. It had a ton of butterflies just flying around . They also had this mirror maze . The pic of Doug looking scary is when he came out of the maze and thought he was going to scare me. It didn't work, just made me laugh. One of the theaters we went to had the Presidential Podium set up. I know you are all thinking Doug was in the running for President, but unfortunately he isn't. But he does look good up there, maybe someday :)
