Branson

Thought I would detail our trip! We had a great time! The girls did pretty good on the trip. Averi slept til Fayetteville then she was DONE with the carseat. I would like to meet a baby that likes her carseat because I never had one. Sydni is now cool with riding in the car. Get her a movie going and she is good as gold.
We checked into the hotel on Sunday then headed to Branson Landing to cruise around. We looked in the shops but I didn't buy anything. I wanted to wait til we went to the outlet. They had some bounce arounds there which Sydni LOVES.
We had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Normally I like that place but our meals were just ok. Got back to the hotel around 630pm. We just hung out and gave the girls a bath in the big whirlpool tub. Sydni slept like a rock. Averi on the other hand fussed a bit through the night but made it til 7am in the hotel crib.
The next morning we went to Silver Dollar City. I am SO glad we brought the double stroller. At first I was thinking about not bringing it and just letting Sydni walk. But that was wayyyyyy too much walking for her. She did great in the stroller. She was all about the rides at the park. I was really surprised. They were pretty big but she jumped in line to every one of them that she could...with me or Daddy in tow.
Headed back to the hotel for a nap. Sydni was the only one that slept. Averi had taken a catnap in the car and was not interested in sleeping anymore. Finally got to go to the outlets!! FUN FUN FUN! The prices were awesome and the selection was even better. I am bringing more money next time!!
We went to dinner that night at Outback (not the chain). It wasn't that great either. Of course it didn't help that Averi was a little pill with NO nap.
Back to the hotel by 630pm again. I know that sounds lame but honestly it was nice to get to all hang out with little distractions. We just played.
We decided to go back to SDC the next morning since our tickets were good for 2 days. We were able to get some video of Sydni on the rides but not much. I felt bad that Averi was locked up in the stroller most of the time the day before so I chased her around the park while Daddy and Sydni rode the rides.
We headed home around noon. I sat in the back on the way home so Averi did much better.
Honestly she was a little angel most of the time. I think her ears are finally healed and her teeth aren't bothering her.
That night both girls slept like ROCKS. Sydni was asleep before I even left her room I think.
Our next big trip is to Osage Beach (Lake of the Ozarks) to meet up with Jim's family. I am really looking forward to it. Sydni should have a ball with all of her cousins.
Sorry its been so long since I have posted. I will try and be better! Check out the Branson pics on our site!
