July 2008 Family Vacation

Aaron and I took the kids to Springfield Mo for our family vacation. When living in Springfield it became a tradition to attend the James River Assembly 4th of July celebration. It was great going back and seeing how much it has changed and how large this function got. We had a good time, it was a little too hot and the lines were a little long but we were in great spirits.

The next day we went to Branson and spent it with my parents. We even rode the Ducks, which was fun. Devin and Joshua both become volunteers for driving the duck in the water. They thought they were sooo cool!

On Sunday, Aaron’s parents took us to Silver Dollar City with Megan his sister. We were able to ride the rides and even went to a magic show. I really enjoyed myself and I know the kids did as well. After Branson the kids had a blast in Oma’s and Grandad’s pool. I wish I had taken more pictures over the weekend. We took the kids to my grandparent’s house and they had a great time there as well. We even saw horses running around the backfield, which was a cool sight since it’s more like a park and the horses didn’t belong there.

On our way home we stopped by Aaron’s oldest sister house. Amber and Mike just had a baby and she is just so cute. The kids had a blast playing with one another. Actually we didn’t see them very much at all. They defiantly kept each other busy. We enjoyed catching up and relaxing with one another.

Here is a video I put together from our vacation. As I said I wish I had taken some pictures of when we all went to Silver Dollar City or just hanging out with Aaron’s parents and sister. I will make sure to have the camera ready next time.

Thanks to everyone for making this a great vacation!!!
