Missouri

This last month we took a road trip to Missouri. We were gone for a week and we had so much fun. We got to visit family and do so many more fun things! We started our trip on Friday evening and I was super tired. I had just worked a whole week of 12 hour shifts and was lacking in the sleep department. I took a short nap, but not as much as I probably should have. Our plan was to stop in Nebraska about half way and sleep. We had quite a while to go before we got to our hotel and my sleep deprivation was kicking in, however, it was kicking in in the form of hyperness or "rummy-ness" as my Mom would say. I was acting like a loony drunk, but at least I was able to keep Gary awake!

We did so many things whilst in Missouri, but one of the adventures was when Gary and I went to Bass Pro Shop. It was so fun to spend time there and look at everything they had.

They have all the dear heads that any hunter could ever dream of.

They have a turtle pond! I could have watched those turtles for hours... which I pretty much did.

They have scary sea creatures which we were terrified of. They also have foxes and Gary likes them because he is sly like a fox. They have a very big bear. They have a fish water fountain outside. They also have a truck that disappears when you take it in the woods! After that we went to the nature center and walked along the trails they have there. It was so pretty and green.

Later that week we went up to a theme park called Silver Dollar City and stayed there for a couple of days. It is such a cool park. They not only have rides but also tons of other things to do in the park. They have a lot of places where you can go watch people doing their different trades. They have a blacksmith, glassblower, you name it. There is also a really huge cave underneath the park that you can go down and take a tour of.

Here are some pictures of our adventures at the park.

It was a great vacation and such a nice break. We can't wait until we can go back again!
