We finally did it. After many years Emma and I finally planned a trip so we could see each other and meet each others little ones! It was really fun, the car ride was a different story but once we got to Branson it was fun. I had never been there and I always enjoy going to places I've never been. We were only there two full days so we didn't get to do much. The cabin we stayed in was really great! I found it off the Internet so I was kind of scared to see it but I was really pleased with how nice it turned out to be. I didn't get a picture though, maybe Emma did. Anyway....I'm glad we planned it and that everything worked out so great!
Here are some random pictures from our car ride. It took about 13 hours to get there and 12 to get home. it was long but I got to see parts of the country that I've never seen before.
The pictures above were taken at Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, MO. It was a huge outdoor store with it's own restaurant that had a really good buffet. Carly and Andrina loved looking at the fish.
These were taken while we were waiting for Daddy to ride on the go-karts. Carly loves these little mechanical toys and for 25 cents you can't beat it!
These were taken at the Hollywood Wax museum which was interesting but not as exciting as what there Internet sight said. Emma and I and the girls went while Kevin and Chad went fishing. Andrina was afraid of most of them and Carly didn't really care!
These were taken inside the cabin we stayed at. Carly and Andrina were enjoying the couch.
Saturday night we went to the Dixie Stampede. It was so fun and Carly actually sat through the whole thing! Although she was trapped inside a booster seat which helped. This place is a huge arena where they feed you tons of yummy food and put on a how down in the arena. This one had tons of horses and pigs and ostriches. It was a Christmas show, which was kind of odd since it's only October, but it was well worth it!!
Carly was our little pink poodle for Halloween. she actually did really well wearing it. We went to a trunk-or-treat on Tuesday night. She didn't really get the idea of it. She just had fun running around trying to walk Skipper. Skipper just enjoyed smelling all the new people around him. It was pretty fun!
We had everyone over at our house last Monday to carve pumpkins. It was really fun and all the pumpkins turned out great!! Carly didn't have a problem with all the gooey stuff inside the pumpkins. She helped take it out and put it back in!

Last saturday we went to a place called the Pumpkin Patch. It wasn't really a pumpkin patch but they sold pumpkins there. They had a little train ride and a hayride and little games for kids. We just went on a train ride and Carly barely made it through that. It was so hot outside too, it didn't feel like fall. Luckily it has cooled down the past couple days to where it actually feels like October.
Here are just some random pictures from last week. I got her hair up in a little pony tail. It looked so cute!! I also took pictures of her spaghetti face, she was enjoying her dinner way too much! The other picture is of Carly and Kennedy watching a movie on the computer. She only lasted a couple minutes before she was ready to get off the chair. She is starting to show some interest in Sesame Street. She loves it when Elmo's World comes on because she loves the fish that is in the fishbowl. She is sure getting to be a big girl!
This past friday night we went on a long overdue camping trip. The weather was perfect, we could't ask for anything better. Thanks to my mom we had anice blow-up mattress to sleep on and once again Carly did great! She was so fascinated with the fire it was hard to keep her away from it. Chad's parents and April also came up late friday night. I'm glad they did, it was nice to have the company. I prepared tin foil dinners earlier that day and to my surprise that actually turned out yummy. All in all, we had a great time!
We went to eat at mexican restaurant on April's b-day. It was yummy, like all mexican food is! When they came to sing to her they put a huge sombrero on her head and whip cream on her nose. (it must be a mexican tradition to do that, they did that on my b-day at a different mexican restaurant) As you can tell from the picture, she was thrilled!
