We had a great vacation, and we were not ready to come home. We spent 2 days at silver dollar city, and stuck around the resort for the rest of the time. It has lots of activities and heated pools, and were blessed with fantastic weather. Our pasty white skin was not ready for 7 days of sunshine! 
Here is one of the lodges we have stayed at. It is called the Bluegreen Wilderness Lodge at Big Cedar. The tiny specks on the rock are Bern and Bella.
A view of Table Rock lake from one of the pools.
Bella the brave loved to float around the deep ends of the pool with the noodle wrapped around her. She only sank once, which I think are not bad odds considering how many hours we spent swimming.
Mommy and Bella on the lazy river.
Daddy and Bern trotting around the pool.
Brian let me sleep in a couple days and took the kids fishing and to the playground. He also fixed Bella's hair, can you tell?
Bella caught two, Bern caught one.
Brian was rewarded with a spa day for letting me sleep in.
Bern loves trolling the floors of the pool looking for treasure. He mostly found leaves and one dead worm.
At the hot tub.
Cotton candy at silver dollar city.
The ladybug ride.
Brian and Bern braving the kiddy coaster.
In front of the train on Branson landing.
Brian took a picture of the lovely sunset while I sat in the condo with the sleeping children. Watching the season finale of Ugly Betty. Have I mentioned before that we don't have cable so when we are on vacation we go a little crazy with the TV. I think I saw 3 new/old movies last week, plus a ton of shows we don't get at home.
We had a great time, it is such an easy trip being 4 hours away, and the lodge is so family friendly. We stayed there last year and it is starting to feel "special" to our family. It is also great to go the week before memorial day because the pools are open but there are no crowds. When we were driving away Bella said "See my face? It is sad because we are going home". We finished off our trip at Lamberts, were the kids caught/dropped the rolls that were thrown to them (this made Bella's face happy again). We also might have bought a paint can sized jar of the molasses they drizzle over the rolls to take home with us, which made me happy again. Hope we can go again next year, but not sure since Bern will still be in school that week and we will have an infant crimping our style:)

Looks like a great place. I am so glad you guys had so much fun! We miss you!
We were in Branson and at Silver Dollar City this last week from Tues to Friday afternoon... We just missed each other I guess. We stayed at Still Waters Resort right down the street from Silver Dollar City. The kids loved the "coaster" and the swings!
