Branson Vacation with the Wheelers

We went to Branson the first week of September and stayed for three days.
This is the nice little place we stayed in. Occupancy was limited to eight people. Let's see, we had Kelly, Rachel, Bekah, Mary, Nephi, Kimball, Brenda, Ammon, Josh, Emma, David and Matt. That's, uh, yea eight. It was a really nice place and we enjoyed the stay.


Mom and Rachel fixing the food. Mom kept the kitchen looking great, and Rachel kept the food coming. Dad did help out with breakfast one morning. He cooked the pancakes. It was nice to have a kitchen and place to eat instead of a tight cramped hotel room or noisy expensive restaurants.

Bekah, and her man Jacob. We were really impressed with this guy. He seems to be a very fine young man. He gets along with everyone and loves a good time. We didn't see much of him in Branson, but what we did see impressed us. Good job Bekah.

Here we are outside of the Dolly Pardon Stampede. Well, it was a good show. Inside is an arena where they do a show that includes a lot of horses, and they feed you while you watch the show. One rider came toward us in a dead run and stopped so suddenly in front of us that the horse kicked up sand from the arena onto our plates and food. When you're hungry, you do what you have to. We brushed off the sand and ate it anyway.

This place is called the House of Mirrors. You can get lost in here. We played around in this place for a while until the boys started running into the walls on purpose and sounding like a bunch of wild animals, and scared off the newcomers. It was fun, but not worth the money.

Back at the ranch, the boys enjoyed being served their breakfast in bed. They were on vacation and there wasn't anything anyone could do about it. Here's a video of them being served, and not even the pressure of the camera could make them embarrassed. But, when Josh had to get up in front of everyone in his boxers, the tables turned.
