Where to begin! Wesley was feeling much better! The boys were jumping from one bed to the next, ugh boys! So we went to a hot breakfast! Oatmeal, eggs, sausage patties, waffles you make, cereal, breads/muffins, biscuits, gravy, and hashed potatoes. Nick thought the potatoes were super awesome! I was excited for the oatmeal, I look forward to Boy Scout Summer Camp just for that! I remember that from elementary school when we lived in Byng. K-1st, before I came to Mustang in 2nd grade.
Ok off to the first time share tour to get our SDC tickets. Gorgeous! Not too far from where we stayed! The appt was at noon and they fed us hot dogs, chili dogs, nachos, and juice. The kids were happy, and Wesley ate an entire Hot Dog! We left, and had to go to redeem our tickets. Well not at that place they gave me a card to go somewhere else. I walk out and its POURING DOWN RAIN! ugh! Were running behind on the Big Cedar tour and had to find our dang place to get our tickets! Found it and got the tickets then took the closest road to get to Big Cedar from where we were. OMG it was beautiful! We saw the huge dam and of course mr camera man wasnt ready and missed it! I was told I griped at him and he then pulled it out and took pictures of EVERYTHING! We were turning on to the last highway before the turn off for Big Cedar and saw a garage sale on Drury Lane! We couldnt find it but we figured the MUFFIN MAN WAS SELLING HIS MUFFINS THERE! But wither way we know what area he could be found!
So 1/4 mile down this road you turn to go to Big Cedar. You wind and wind and wind and wind and well you get the point! We get there but we guess what.... GET LOST!! If you have ever been here you would understand! This place first is BEATUIFUL! I could live here and if I did, I would write books! But well I have children and it is a nice fantasy! Wesley can go to the play room and Nick and I went to tour. Wow amazing! Cheaper and more places to chose from than the last place! Either way it was breath taking! Nick started acting like he was dying and couldnt wait to get to Branson to eat and a sandwich he turned his nose up at. So since we got $50 in Bass Pro gift cards we were told we could use them anywhere Bass Pro has anything for sale! So we ate at Devil's Pond. The kids were grumpy and then cold inside, they were mad that we didnt sit outside, it was muggy outside! We ate, the salad I had was AWESOME! The soup, no comment! So we left and then headed back to look for the Muffin man, but no such luck! I had dibbled my soup on my shirt, nothing unusal for me, lol. But it stood out a bit. Nick yelled at me and said MOM YOUR NOT LARRY THE CABLE GUY! Dont change your shirt while your driving! lol I waited to park and did it quickly, sneaky, sneaky!
Well no Muffin man and so we decided an hour and few minutes before our Magic show so lets go find it. It took 45 minutes to find! This is how we accidently found Mnt Man Fruit & Nut Co. Had to stop, but it was nothing like the store in Castle Rock, Co. This one wasnt that great but found something for the kids to eat! Ended up calling them to get directions! Went to the show had a blast! I got a great idea for an awesome Scout Skit!
We got lost coming back went WAY too far and ended up no where near where we thought! So grabbed a Micky D's snack, planned escape route from massive traffic jam! Thank goodness for side roads. So I still missed my road and it threw us on other side but we got back to the main road, sat in a bit of the traffic jam, but found the DQ on the corner and found our hotel!
I dropped the boys off and then I had to find a parking spot! OMG I thought I was going to die! Boys got to swim for 30 minutes. I got pics uploaded and bed is calling ,my name! Its beyond LATE or really early depending on your mood! Rain may be a factor in tomorrows plan for Silver Dollar City, but we have plan B if needed! We will change Hotels tomorrow for 2 more nights and see Dolly's Stampeed tomorrow night! Wesley is very excited. So we will have plenty of pictures from that!
Good night alll! Enjoy the pics 3 pages today!
