It was our last full day in Branson today. Three days go by way too fast. I wish we had at least one more day here. It's been a great three days. I love these times with my husband and my kids.
This morning we got up and went to Peppercorn's for breakfast. This is the second morning we went there. It was not quite as good this morning as it was yesterday morning.
After breakfast we went to ride the ducks. We had to wait about 50 minutes before our tour began, but it was worth the wait. Our captain was Captain Hoot. He was a lot of fun. There was a family sitting behind us from Louisiana. They were the most Cajun family I've ever seen. They were so much fun. They joked around and had a lot of fun and made the whole trip fun for everyone. Between our great captain and the Cajun family it was just a wonderful time. Michaela and Caleb both got to drive the duck, too. They thought that was cool.
When our Duck tour was over we went back to our hotel to spend some time in the indoor water park. Ok, at this point I have to say it's not really a water park. It's an aquatic playground. It's designed mostly for kids. The outside part is designed for small children. There are two tube slides, a climbing structure with many places to dump or squirt water on other people, and a big dumping bucket. There is another small child play place inside. There is a small lazy river and two hot tubs. There is also a "pool" with several basketball hoops and balls.
The kids had a lot of fun and it felt good to cool off some. It was relaxing. Michaela met a boy there named Cody. They floated on the lazy river together and climbed around on the climbing structure together. Cody even put up her tube from the lazy river for Michaela. It was cute.
After a couple hours we went back to the room and changed clothes. We went for an early dinner at Olive Garden. It was really good. I enjoyed the meal very much.
When we were finished eating we went to play miniature golf. We played at a place called Lost Treasure. A little train takes you up to the beginning of the course after you pay. That was kind of cool. It was REALLY HOT while we were playing miniature golf, but we still had fun. Caleb was very happy because he'd been wanting to play golf since we got to Branson.
Then, we headed down to Branson Landing. That must be the place to be because it was COMPLETELY PACKED down there. It's nice, though. It's an outside mall with brick walk ways and street lights that change colors. Michaela got an outfit at Justice and she and Caleb both got t-shirts at Del Sol.
We got to watch the fire/water fountain show, too. It went off twice while we were there. The first time we were sitting up on one of the landscaping terraces. I video taped it. There were three little kids sitting next to me that were just having a blast watching it. After it was over and people started leaving, we moved down to sit on the wall of the fountain.
We had to wait about 25 minutes for it to go off again, but it was worth it. Seeing it up close like that was so cool. We caught some of the spray from the fountain and could feel the heat from the fire. It was just amazing. I'm so glad we went down there.
By the time we got back to the room it was after 10:00 p.m. And, now it's time to go to sleep in this hotel room for the last night.
