Branson: Day 3

Saturday (7/9/11)

Once again Brinley woke us up at 6:45am!! This girl must have been excited to be on vacation because she stayed up late and woke up early every day! But it's vacation so who cares....right?! Since B got up so early we went out onto the deck to have some breakfast! Who doesn't love Raisin Brand...and this face?!

We decided the night before that we would rent a boat and spend some time on the lake. I had only been on a boat 1 other time and I had never been tubing. This was Brinley's 1st time on a boat and in a lake. We rented this pontoon boat for 4 hours.

B wasn't too happy about having to wear her life jacket the whole time but she soon got used to it. I was a little worried she wouldn't like being in the water because she wouldn't be able to touch and she likes to run around at the water park.

I was right. She only liked it about long enough for us to get a decent picture. She had just as much fun running around on the deck and watching everyone else tube. She also loved helping Papa drive.

Brinley and Gma Jane sat at the back of the boat to watch Greg and I tube. When we would fall off B would turn to Gma and say "uh-oh"

The boat didn't have as much power as Greg would have liked to whip us around but I was just fine with it as this was my very first time to tube. I was very skeptical and wasn't so sure I would enjoy it. Boy was I wrong. I had a blast and can't wait until I can do it again!

B even got to tube. Here we are getting ready to go out. Let me just tell you that Greg and I are in trouble as soon as this one can drive something with a motor or that is gas powered. She was not happy unless we were going fast enough to splash water up so she could it. Papa was nervous about driving that fast so her ride didn't last too long!

Greg and I even talked Gma and Papa into tubing. Jane didn't last long because it hurt her knees really bad but I give her props for trying it. B liked watching her at least. She is gonna kill me for posting this picture but I just had too do it! Gene rode it out for a while, but wouldn't go again. I think he enjoyed trying to throw Greg and I off more that anything! HaHa

After the lake we cooked lunch at the cabin. Brinley took and nap and Greg and I headed into Branson to go to the Our Body Exhibit. This was a little freaky but very interesting. You get to see all the different parts of the body, and I mean everything. These exhibits are real life bodies...CREEPY! I know that my mom would enjoy this because she is a nurse.

After that Greg and I grabbed some Andy's Frozen Custard and headed back to the cabin. By then B was up and ready to play! We spend quite and while our in the play area. She absolutely loved this Little Tykes Playhouse! I think I'm gonna have to try and find one at a garage sale! She also like riding being pushed around on the bike.

After today I was we were all worn smooth out! We all went to bed early because tomorrow would be our last day in Branson!
Stay tuned for day 4!!
