Spring Break

These are pictures form our Spring Break Trip. We left for Branson right after Veronika's softball practice Friday night. I had made Chicken Salad Sandwiches and packed chips and drinks, so we only had to stop for gas. We got into Branson around 10:30. Saturday morning we were up bright and early and went and ate at Aunt Molly's inside of Silver Dollar City. We had a blast Saturday. Veronika was on her best behavior and we really enjoyed our day together. Veronika rode her first "real" rollercoaster which really surprised me; we spent most of the afternoon in the "family" section which has alot of rides more age-appropriate for Veronika. We left the park at closing and went back to the hotel for a quick rest. We bathed Veronika and then headed to the Olive Garden for some dinner and then to Andy's frozen custard for dessert. We were all exhausted and slept well.

Sunday morning we headed to McDonald's for breakfast and it was packed!! We were in line for 30 minutes. When we got up to the counter they announced that they were switching over to lunch, but luckily we got to order breakfast. After that we headed to the Butterfly Palace. We thought it was a little over-priced for what you got, but we still enjoyed it. Our favorite part was a mirror "rainforest." We got really lost and had a blast. Next, we headed down to Branson Landings to the Disney Store. Veronika has been saving up her allowance for this trip, so she bought her own purse with little knick-knacks. We really tried to get her to get something that she didn't already have; but we told her it was her money and she could make her own decision. We wrapped up the trip with lunch at Joe's Crab Shack. Veronika was out before we even got on the highway and slept most of the way home.

I had a very nice week off of school, I got alot of cleaning and organization done. I don't think I have ever relaxed that much on a break...it was wonderful; a nice energizer for the final 8 weeks of school.
