Branson Vacay - WonderWorks

One of Branson's newer attractions caught our eye - WonderWorks. We  decided that it would be our big (meaning costly) place that we would splurge on to take the whole crew.  The night before we planned to go I decided to search online to see if I could find any discounts.  Turns out there was a discount for teachers - discount being free!  Guests of a teacher also got in for 50% off.  So with such young kids it only ended up costing us about $15 to go.  (We may have also told Oliver that he needed to pretend to be four years old for the day, hehe.) We even went back for a second day.

 

Eden was such a trooper through it as the kids played and explored.  The building was three stories and was filled with hands on activities for the kids to do.  They loved it!

The giant bubbles were Paisley's favorite.

Branson Vacay - Miniature Golf

This little cutie got a hole in one!

And so did this one!

I'm pretty sure I got more holes in one than Riley did (which never happens!) but, of course, I was the only one taking photos.

This is gold!  I love Oliver's reaction!  Pure excitement! 

The prize for getting a hole in one on the 18th hole was candy or a free round of golf.  Ollie chose candy!

After golf we went looking for a sweet treat.  We wanted Andy's, but the line was huge so we settled for a little stand that had fruity whipped frozen treats (I can't remember the name of it).  Ollie was a bit disappointed in the size of his kid's cone... and I was too for the price.

The kids helped themselves to Yama's to make up for their small cones.

Branson Vacay - Springfield Zoo

 Any time we take a trip to Branson, we usually spend a day (or morning) in Springfield.  The guys went to Grizzly's and Bass Pro and the girls/kids went to the zoo.  It was a hot, but fun time.

These two boys were more concerned with their maps than they were with actually seeing any animals.

Feeding the giraffes was the highlight of the zoo trip.

Paisley talks all about how Aunt Sarah helped her feed the giraffes and it licked her leg.
