Missouri

About 2 weeks ago, The kids and I went back to Missouri to have a memorial service for my grandma that past away in April 30. We buried her ashes next to my grandpa. We had a good time. I am not posting pictures of the grave just for the sake the family name.My sister got the best picture of me and my mom that I just LOVE! My mom hates pictures but this one I should Hang up in my house, it is the best!
Here are some pictures of Silver dollar city in Branson. This was my kids first amusement park cause they have ALWAYS hated rides! Maybe we can go see M-I-C-K-E-Y now that we like kiddi rides. Of course we went on the day that was RAINY and cold. If you have ever been to missouri with there humidity its like I want to say our WINTERS. When it would be 55 I swear it felt like our 35! Yes I am a whimp to cold.Funny about the guns. My dad put money in for my nephew and bryson and they were shooting then it was over. Lilly goes "what about me PAPA." Guess she is a Pink Tom boy. But the funny thing is she out SHOT both the boys and got every duck. Too bad mommy won't allow guns in the house. :) They will just have to wait to go shooting with dad till umm I have no idea when I will allow it :).
The next day we went to my dads cousin's farm the kids rode the tractor and thought that was so much fun! On his property there is also a stream that they fish on and catch frogs. Lilly did catch one. It was fun too see people hearding cows that escaped. Also, on the property there a airplane runway and hanger. The kids thought that was cool! Here is my dad, his cousin Paul and my kids!I just love this picture for some reason. This is my dads cousin Crazy Paul. I talk to him alot online. He is now like another Grandpa to my kids! They are all so nice and Great people. Later that night we went over to Paul's for dinner! His wife made the best dinner, it was all so yummy! They have been married for 52 years! Bryson sure misses their dog Rowdy! I am sure Rowdy misses the kids too and playing with them! Dallyn thanks you for all the milk he drank :)

Last but not least the pool! the kids loved it but I was freezing! Dallyn was chattering by the time he was done. Do they not heat an indoor pool back there. Sure didn't feel like it!
All and all it was a fun trip! I will not lie, It was harder then I though by myself with 3 kids. One that would back talk towards me consitatly, and one that is in the complete terrible two's and would of course not eat! I was glad to come home wtih the help of daddy! He does so much for us and I love him so much!

It sounds like you had a good time & survived the trip alone with your kids. I struggle taking my shopping. You are brave! I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. I'm glad you were able to go to the memorial service for her. So do your parents live in Missouri? I love that pic of you & your mom. It's beautiful, defiantly hang it in your house.
