Branson At Its Best!

Chad, Gabe, and Holley treated their parents to a trip to Branson to celebrate their upcoming anniversary. We stayed at Emerald Point Condos on Table Rock Lake and had a GREAT time. We each had a bedroom, kitchen, living room, and washer/dryer. There was a marina/boat slips just down the road for days out on the lake and a swimming pool just outside our door. Great job planning the trip, guys!
Cousin Love...Madison & William. She adores him!
We decided to eat at Joe's Crab Shack our first night there.

Gabe & William gearin' up to eat crabs.
Madison sure did enjoy some Grammy & Poppa time!
The girls...well, the "young 'ens" that is...me, Holley (Gabe's sister), & Becca (Chad's wife)
Let's Get Crackin'- Gabe taught William how to crack and eat some crab.
Surprise! Happy Anniversary. Not sure who told the waiter, but Ed and Margaret got a song!
After dinner, we headed to the midding of The Landing and watched the water/fire show.

The next night we enjoyed some Italian- one of my favorites


Did a little shopping at the outlet malls...

Enjoyed some go-karts. I believe Gabe beat Holley!

Overall, we had a great time. We didn't do a whole lot besides, relaxing, eating, shopping, and more eating, but I think it was what we all needed. Madison did great on the trip there and back. She ran fever during the whole trip... We can't quite figure it out. We thought it was just her teething, but we're still not sure. She seems to be fine today and she has her 15-18 month check-up on Monday, so maybe we'll find something out then.

Branson was definately at its best!
