2008 Spring/Summer Tour - Day 95

Roseann and the girls went with Jason to look at some properties around the area while I stayed back and got some rest. The girls had baths over at Jason and Mara's house and then we went to church. After church, we went back to their house for dinner and had a fun time talking together, playing some games (once again, they asked for us to bring Pandemic to play) and eating some amazing pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I did a dramatic reading of The Cat in the Hat for all of the kids, and then we went back to the bus. It was another very late night for everyone.

We had a really great time here and are so grateful for the friendship of the Hughes family and the time we had to spend with all of them. We wish we could have also spent more time with the Duttons but it didn't work out with their vacation schedule. And there were some shows and attractions we'd have liked to see (for example, they have a Segway track here and I've always wanted to try one of those), but as always, there's only so much time. As we knew going in, Branson isn't really an ideal place for a kids' entertainer... I was grateful to be able to do what I did here, but this was really more of a vacation side-trip for us that happened to have a few smaller shows... so I'm not sure what kind of things I'd be able to do here in the future, work-wise, but we'll definitely stop by anytime we're out this way to see our friends and have some fun.
