Branson Escape

We needed to get away, and we drug the Kirchhoffs with us.  We planned a little trip to Branson for some fun and relaxation.  It happened to also be Halloween weekend, so we also fit in some trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving because we are crazy like that!  The first day we were there it was rainy and gross so we got to check out a place called "Frtiz's" which is basically a safer version of the City Museum and by safer I just mean that there aren't random holes in the middle of the floor and most edges are rounded when you are crawling in the tunnels.  Still PLENTY of ways to hurt yourself I am sure, but we left with no injuries to report!  It's a super fun place for the kids if you're ever in the Branson area.  The next day the weather was much better so we headed over to Silver Dollar City for some amusement park fun.  It was pretty amazing because there were much smaller crowds because of this little thing known as COVID-19 and also the Pumpkin decorations were super fun.  The kids got pretty adventurous with the rides this year, even Everly liked her fair share of thrill!  The next day we spent at Big Cedar, where we explored the grounds in a golf cart, visited the Top of the Rock and also went to Fun Mountain for lunch and arcades.  A little bit of fun for everyone!  And then finally on the last day we made our way to Arkansas for a nice little hike.  We did the Lost Valley trail, however we were a little disappointed that we couldn't go all the way to the end because of COVID...which I still don't really understand, but it was a fun little trail for the family nonetheless and then we capped it off with a dinner at Branson Landing.  Branson, you never disappoint and this time was no exception (even if we did have a hard time finding the "right" beer).
