Alright, I'm finally gonna wrap up the recap on the ol' vacation. Just three short weeks after it happened. Anyway, our Friday activity was to go into Branson and see the Butterfly Palace. And while 'Palace' should have been a cost implication, I assumed this was gonna a cost friendly venture since we found $1.00 off coupons to use. As it turns out I was wrong. Really wrong. We paid a silly amount of money to see 2,000 butterflies flit around a tropical room with native plants and birds and waterfalls. The girls were interested for a few minutes, but then Liv was ready to go see the 3-D movie about butterflies and Josie really wanted to hold a butterfly. The 3-D movie sounded good until Grandma reported back that in the end the butterflies were eaten. You know, the circle of life and all. That didn't keep Liv down for too long though, because the Palace also housed a Mirror Maze. We did that about 72,000 times and it never got any easier--those mirrors were tricky. I ran face first into three of them. After that we were in search of lunch. My only rule for vacation eating is we can't anywhere we could at home. So, we found a place named Charlie's. JACKPOT!! Inside was a huge bull statue thing that had scaffolding and stairs so one could climb and 'ride' the bull. This provided entertainment while lunch cooked. Just look at how much fun Grandma was having! We had to drag her out...but not before she befriended the Indian guarding the front door.
That's about it. Except for all the hours we logged at the pool on the property. I wish I had pictures but it wasn't convenient to have a camera. So, just pretend you've seen us at seven different pools (indoor and out), going down slides (some made of stone and going under waterfalls), and floating in a lazy river. There, now we're done! Josie and Liv still talk about the trip and Liv took her pictures to school for show and tell.
Which brings me to my next life event--Liv started 2nd grade! Stay tuned...
