The girls were very excited to get to ride some rides & see the Veggie Tales show. After the Veggie Tales show they got to go meet Bob the tomato & Larry the cucumber & have their picture taken with them. However, because they are my children & scared of things like that, you'll understand why in the picture Paul is holding Lillie (who wouldn't even look at them once it was our turn) & Keeley is clinging to Paul's leg...a safe distance away from both characters, about 2 feet! Funny. BUT, they did get to meet them & enjoyed it when it was over. :o)
They played & played in a kids area that has these air gun things that shoot foam balls at targets. Keeley was so proud that she could put the balls in the gun AND shoot it all by herself. Lillie had a blast just picking up balls & putting them into the guns. Of course, she had to be lifted up each time. Maybe she'll have a growth spurt soon.
Lillie loved playing in the water. It was like at a splash park where the water randomly shoots up from the ground. She thought it was great. Keeley didn't like the surprise of it. It was the perfect day for playing in the water too. It was sunny & warm! Since we went to 2 shows, it wasn't bad because we were able to cool off from being outside.
The second show we saw was called JEERKS. It was a rhythm, stomp type of group from Sweeden. That was Paul's favorite thing we did. It was pretty neat. We'd gotten 2 frozen lemonades & the girls finished those off during that. I think they enjoyed the show too though.
We wandered around in a store or 2 & then took a ride on the train. Lillie had never been on a train & enjoyed that. It was a bit crowded, but a nice ride through part of the park.
We took lunch with us & decided to have dinner in the park. Of course it was yummy. Then we went to the show that starts when the park closes. (I know. That doesn't make much sense, but all the booths & shops close except down at the ampitheater where the show is.) It was a bunch of country music & a fantastic pianist! I've never seen anyone play so fast! Crazy. Anyway, Paul & Dad bought funnel cakes so we snacked on that until the end of the show & then we headed home!
The girls were SO tired. I was impressed that they didn't fall asleep at the show, but I guess eating funnel cakes was incentive enough to keep them awake. They fell asleep pretty quickly after we left & slept the whole way home. (I WISH I could say they slept all night, but I don't have that kind of luck. That is a whole post in itself.)
I'm really glad we decided to go. We had fun just being together & watching the girls have so much fun.
Here are a bunch of pictures from our family fun day!

You don't even look pregnant in any of these pics. Like me you just have a little basketball under your shirt and it can only be seen standing up. :)
Looks like a great day!! Freeman keeps telling me we need another trip to Branson - I think I'd have to agree with him. We LOVE it there and Silver Dollar city is one of our FAVORITE places ever. Great pictures - everyone looks like they had a blast!

Oh my gosh, that looks like SO much fun!! I'm so excited for those fun family outings. And I agree with the girls, as much fun as Larry the Cucumber is, I would hold my daddy's leg too. :)
