Labor Day Fun in Branson

We just got home from a quick trip to Branson with Nanny, Papa and Aunt Laura. 

Sadly, with Dad gone for his military school, he had to miss our fun. 

We stayed at a BlueGreen resort "the Falls Village" and it was great. 
The kids really love the playground at this resort. 

We arrived Saturday afternoon and checked in. We ordered groceries and Nanny, Papa and Aunt Laura picked them up. So we could eat dinner at the resort.

Then the kids wanted to play outside and go swimming. 

Well, actually only Tucker and Benson wanted to swim. The older two kids didn't want to play. 
The little boys had a great time and the weather was fantastic. 

On Sunday we went to church and then played around the resort and relaxed. The resort has mini golf, shuffleboard, pickleball and more- in addition to the indoor and outdoor pools. 
Bailey and I enjoyed just being outside, she read her book while I watched the boys play at the playground. 

Then the boys wanted to swim again. This time Tanner did swim and play with them. 

We got lots of snuggles and relaxation time in over the weekend too. 

Aunt Laura brought a puzzle and the kids enjoyed helping her work on it whenever they weren't outside playing. 

We ate delicious food all weekend and it was so nice to be able to just cook out own food and save the money. I really love the full kitchens at BlueGreen resorts. 

Tucker also loved playing with the lego at the kid's club area. 

That night we all played mini golf. Aunt Laura won after getting 4 holes-in-one. It was insane. 

Then Bailey gave Nanny a bit of make-over. This was pretty cute to witness. She would explain what she was doing and what it was for. I was cracking up. 

Monday morning the kids helped Aunt Laura finish the puzzle and we ate breakfast. 

Then we checked out and went to run some errands. 
The girls (minus Aunt Laura) went to Ulta to get some makeup. 

Papa and Aunt Laura took the kids to "Five Below" to get a toy or treat. 

Then we went to Culver's for lunch. 
This was Nanny and Papa's first experience at Culver's and everyone enjoyed their lunches. 

From there we went over to Nanny and Papa's Marriott Timeshare Resort and played at their pool. 

The weather was perfect for the pool and we all relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. 

Benson was so excited to try out his new motorized boat. He drove it all over the pool. 

He was seriously so happy with his boat. 

Of course, no visit to the Marriott pool is complete without snow cones. 

So naturally we had to get some and enjoy them poolside. 

 

After we finished swimming and playing, we all changed and started the drive home. 
It was a quick trip but we had a great time. 

We love any time we get with Nanny, Papa and Aunt Laura. These little trips to Branson are always fun.

Happy Labor Day everyone. It's back to reality now and another week until Dad gets home from school.
