July 18th (Day 1 Branson/Arkansas Trip-Branson Go Carts/Willow Ridge Marriot/Night Swimming)

Here we go on our way to Branson for some family fun!

The girls found some fun stuff in their bags...mystical creature in slime!!

We stopped in Belton to eat lunch at Pepper Jax since some restaurants aren't serving inside their restaurants!

Yummy!!

 We got into Branson around 2 pm!

We first made a stop at The Track for GO Carts and Water Bumper Boats!

(Side Note: We actually ran into a guy from Nick's work and his family...ha what are the chances)

Ella and I going for a ride together!!

It was so much fun.

Addie and Nick rode in their own cars!

 Bumper boats for Addie and Ella!
(Another Side Note: I had a little issue with the workers since they told me Ella had to go by herself, wasn't thrilled since she was going to be able to push the button easily to get the boat to move around or to bring it back but I told them if she does it and can't get back they will have to jump in a get her. Ha. I didn't really care. Luckily Addie helped her back with her boat!!)

 It was HOTTT!! So the water felt good I am sure.

Time for Nick and the girls to ride the Go Carts one more time!!

 Love Ella's happy face!!

 Adelyn's such a serious driver! Ha.

It was soooooo hot!

So we went inside and had to wait in line but got old school ICEE's!!

They tasted AMAZING!!

We checked into the Willow Ridge Marriot!!

This place is super fancy!!

The girls got their sofa bed already to go!

It was actually a super comfortable bed!!!

 Loved having the kitchenette!!

They also have 1 and 2 bedrooms, plus this place is super close to everything off the strip.

 Time to play with slime and put the creature they got together!

We opted for Dominoes pizza in the hotel room, yummy!

Then I realized I forgot to pack Addie's swimsuit, so I ran quickly up to Walmart 3 minutes before they closed to grab her one!!

Time to get in the pool at night, they had lights so fun!

 The pool was huge and they had multiple hot tubs!

 Being silly!

After our swim we went and grabbed Andy's custard for dessert! Yummy and it was packed so we hit up the drive way!

Around 11 pm it was time to get to bed, lots of fun to come!!

July 17th (Scooters in the HOUSE)

Ella has been getting better at her scooter and wanted to practice in the house, so I let her.

Addie decided to join with her's also. 

Ella attached her piggy in a box to hers, so cute!!
