Branson Day 1

Went miniature golfing ($26 for the 4 of us; we need to open a mini golf course! They make a killing!) I think it's pretty safe to say Bobby and I shouldn't count on the girls making the LPGA to pay for our retirement. Granted, Macy's arm was in cast, but let's just say we didn't keep score. Many times Kaylin had the putter turned the complete wrong direction. Or she just picked up her ball and moved it.

Tonight we went to the Dixie Stampede. We had front row seats, and it was worth every bit of the extra $15 for priority seating. The girls were absolutely mesmerized from start to finish. The horses were right there in front of us! A meal is served, but it was wasted on the girls because they couldn't take their eyes off the show long enough to eat! Macy did finally eat some chicken, and Kaylin ate part of her roll, but that's it. The older couple from Illinois sitting next to us commented on how well behaved they were. I said thanks, but this behavior wasn't typical. The one other time I've seen Kaylin like that was at the Hannah Montana movie earlier this year.

Speaking of Hannah Montana,for those of you who don't know, her aunt on the show is Dolly Parton. (Grandmother is Carol Burnett.) And Dolly owns the Dixie Stampede. There was a videotaped message from Dolly herself towards the end, and the girls were so excited to see Aunt Dolly!! Dolly definately has a brand new fan base of little girls and tween girls.

Tomorrow brings Silver Dollar City and Celebration City. Right now, my bed is calling.
