Kids Kountry Fun Land

Ok, I was going to post these the other night with the last post, but I got carried away and ran out of time. I really just meant to post that picture of the cloud and description, but as I write sometimes I get reflective and windy. I was just reeling from what the Lord was showing me, and I guess I just wanted to share. I will try to keep these posts shorter with more pics of the kids. I certainly don't want it to be a soap box. (whatever that means-soap box? where did that come from any way?) These pics are from our Saturday trip to Branson. There is a fun place for kids that isn't as badly priced as "steal-your dollar city". WE had such a good time. We don't do stuff like this real often, and I was delighted at how the kids just had a good time. I don't think I heard one fight, complaint, or competitive argument the whole time we were there!! Not even when Alexis beat Aaron on the go-carts. Oh, the go-carts were so entertaining! Alexis would not let this little boy (not Aaron) get ahead of her. She kept cutting him off, without hitting him, of course. And then towards the end she was distracted from the road while waving and smiling at Eli and ran right into a parked go-cart! It was quite funny--nobody was hurt. After the little fun park we met Kevin's old boss, Ken, at the Landing near the Lake Taneycomo. Ken and his family were up from Dallas. His wife is from Branson. It was good to see them. We ate while it poured down rain outside. Afterwards we walked around and took some pics of the steam rising from the lake after the storm. Pretty cool!

Eli--not having so much fun--can you tell?

best I could do of all three--Eli needs his space

the sun was a little bright that day

P.S. By the way, I am a very music minded person--there is always a song playing in my head. That is the reason I have various songs playing. If you don't like the music you can click on the pause button to turn it off. Oh, and John Denver was, is, and will always be one of my most favorite singers. Probably won't be the last time you hear him on my blog. I hope that doesn't scare anyone off.
