The City Museum

The City Museum in St Louis was a multi-story playground.  There were slides, climbing places, art, caves, and lots of fun.  The kids peeled off and went as buddies around the museum.  We spent a few hours and still did not experience it all.

  

Branson Shows

 The Amazing Acrobats of Shanghai:  This show was a hit with the kids and adults.  We saw a lot of amazing tricks involving balance, flexibility, and teamwork.

The Johnson Strings: This showcased an amazing family of musicians.  They played all genera of music and many played multiple instruments.  It was a fun show and the cookies were great!

Sabrina watching the Johnson Strings.  This awe was on a lot of our faces throughout both shows.

Butterfly Palace and Rain Forest Adventure

The Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure was our first stop in Branson, MO.  The butterflies were beautiful and the kids had a great time in the mirror maze.

He gave me my eyes that I might see the color of butterfly wings. 
He gave me ears that I might hear the magical sound of things.

He gave me my life, my mind, my heart. I thank him reverently for all his creations of which I'm apart.
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me.

Exploring our Ozark Home

For most of our vacation we stayed at a little cabin right outside of Ponca, AR population 9.  We had fun exploring in the backyard, building a fort, and roasting hotdogs and marshmallows.  It was a great central location for the hikes and fun we had.

Yummy

Sabrina and I went on a hike just down the street from our cabin.  We had a great time together taking selfies, flower pictures, and enjoying the beauty around us.
