Branson - The Landing & The Ducks

We all got up early on Sunday morning because we were excited to see the sights, and Nana was whipping up an awesome smelling breakfast. Austin thought we were all taking way to long to get ready so he decided to take a nap with Pa before we left.
Our first stop was to visit the Branson Belle. We didn't have tickets to the show but we were lucky enough to see the the HUGE boat leave the dock.
The grounds around the Showboat were beautiful!

Mama and Austin checking out the lake...We didn't hang out long because it was HOT HOT HOT! Our next stop was the Branson Landing for a bite to eat.

One of Austin's new things on vacation was getting colors at the restaurants. He loved reading and coloring all over the pages.
We decided we wanted to "Ride The Ducks," but had a few hours to kill before the next tour left. We killed time by shopping and riding Clifford.Austin didn't last long once we finally took off on The Duck. He missed most of his first boat ride! Can you tell how hot it was??
Here's a picture right after we hit the water.
Grandpa, why is the land back there?!?

Quack Quack!
You do it, Mom!
We headed back to the cabin to freshen up and cool down after the duck ride. We decided to hit the strip for dinner. We ended up a fantastic seafood restaurant that Jay is still talking about.

It was time to head home already on Monday morning. Austin slept from our cabin to Sullivan, Mo where we stopped for lunch. If only he'd sleep that much at home!

We are looking forward to many many more family vacations!
