...and wanted to go watch the cow sale...that's just on Saturday morning....

Branson trip w/ Lindsay & the bunny...
...1st stop was the Branson Chamber of Commerce to pick "Shrek" tickets...
~
...after settling in to our hotel room, we walked around the corner for dinner...
~
....When we were ready to leave, there was a downpour which we tried to wait out...BUT....
we decided to make a run for it since we were 5 minutes away...
...Linz carried the bunny and had on slides which she couldn't run in...
...our bunny thought this was the funniest thing...she laughed forever...
...I ended up taking my flips off and giving them to Linz, and I ran barefoot...
...Yes, you guessed it!...We were soaked....
...our bunny laughed and said we ran like Grandma's...
...I guess that doesn't say much for Linz...😜
~~~
...view from our window...
~
...slowly waking up...
~~
...excited to see the musical "Shrek" @ the Welk's Resort...
...When I ordered the tickets, I requested the best seats, if possible...
...So surprised...front row, middle 3 seats...WOW!
~
However, we had to change them b/c the bunny was scared to be so close...
...We went back 8 rows and by then her anxiety was running high...
...So we left w/out seeing Shrek!...
~~~
Next on our plan was Silver Dollar City....
...The entry to SDC was beautiful w/ lush greenery and flowers...
...It didn't go much better...
...We only got her on the Tea Cups and that was b/c she wasn't going to get her face painted unless she rode one thing...
...She may be like her mother was as a young girl...Linz didn't like fair rides!...
...Honestly, I never have either...
...Ali would ride anything w/ her dad while Linz and I would keep our feet on the ground and just wave...
~
...She did enjoy the carney games...😏
~~

...Bert's car...
...As we are leaving the Beach House where we had dinner, lil' A laughs and says,
"look at that funny car!...It has a trunk in the back and a trunk in the front!"
Who would think a barely 3 year old would even know what a car trunk is.???
Anyway, anyone who knows Bert, knows that he is eccentric and his passion is tinkering w/ cars.
This is two different cars that he has put together. So, yes! It's a funny looking car...

...Father, I pray that You will follow our lil' bunny as she starts school this year. May she learn many things. Please bless her heart.. May she make friends and I pray they will be kind. Please watch over her and protect her from negative influences. I ask, Father, that you carry her through any struggles w/ anxiety. Help her to remember when she is scared or afraid, You are there with her. I pray for the teachers too, that you would grace them with an understanding heart. Thank you for all our blessings....Amen!
