Our Fall Vacation 2009!

       Branson 2009 092

This year we stayed at Big Cedar Lodge a few miles from Branson. 

Branson 2009 094  Big Cedar Lodge has its own marina, mini golf course, restaurants, gift shop, hiking trails, etc.Branson 2009 098

It is owned by Bass Pro Shops….so Joel and I expected it to be clean and nice.   It was!

We crossed over this swinging bridge to go eat at one of the eateries at the lodge.

We went to Silver Dollar City one day-----the coldest day that we were in Branson.

We also went to the Landing several times where Zach got to ride Bob the Builder. We went to see several shows…..and of course we saw the Duttons again even though we have seen their show probably a dozen times.  Zach loved it….especially getting to watch all of those animals dance.

We went to see the trail of Christmas Lights….Zach loved getting to sit in the front seat and see them.

Zach had a great time “swiding” and spending time with his daddy.

What a silly guy!  He was a wiggling and wiggling.  So his dad had Zach’s butterfly friend come talk to him.  Zach was making butterfly back.

Butterfly is probably landing right about now.

We also enjoyed eating at Lambert’s while we were on vacation.  The atmosphere at that place is so lively.  We enjoyed

hot ROLLS!  Branson 2009 157

So did….ZACH! 

As always…it is so easy to be discouraged at the end of a good vacation time with the ones you love.  But you have to think of the good things that lies ahead….like getting ready for Christmas.

Looks like a fun time! The pictures are so cute - especially like the close-up of Zachy's face :) So sweet!
