Weekend in Branson

We spent last weekend in Branson, MO with my parents and cousins. We really had a great time. We got there Friday night and met up with my cousin Mark and his family for dinner. It was my parents 39th wedding anniversary and Mike and I surprised them with a cake at dinner. Then on Saturday we went to Silver Dollar City. Libby was tall enough to ride lots of the rides and rode her first roller coaster! She LOVED it!! She also rode the white water river ride and had a blast. I really thought she'd be scared but she liked it. We didn't get too many pictures that turned out because she had to ride on the inside of many rides and was blocked from view.

She also had a fun time playing with cousins. My cousin Mark has kids that are about my age and they have kids the same age as my kids. Jack and Libby are about 10 months apart (he's older) and Justin and Stevie are 10 months and 8 months older than Brynn. Libby had fun running around with Jack and Brynn liked watching the older babies. One of my cousins has a step daughter, Taylor, who is 10 and Libby really liked playing with her too. Unfortunately, we were so in the moment that we didn't take pictures. It was just nice to have a weekend away and to see some family that we don't see very often. In fact, we only see them every few years at best. It was nice to catch up with everyone.
