Tuesday June 5, 2012 - Branson MO

Good morning everyone!!  We left Louisburg KS yesterday morning and arrived in Branson around 2:30 pm on Monday.  Set up camp and then went with Roger & Leta and toured Branson.  We drove down the strip and saw some of the places which were hit by the tornado they had on February 29, 2012.  We were here at Branson nine years ago and the hotel we stayed at had part of the roof taken off.  It is just down the road from the Dixie Stampede.  Sure glad Roger & Leta are here with us for a couple of days so they can kind of show us how to get around.  They have been here several times and know their way around, well sort of.  When they get lost, which has been a few times, I have to get my phone out and ask the nice lady on my Navigator to get us unlost.

Today we are going to a show and dinner at the Shepard of the Hills.  Last night we were there and bought our tickets for today and went up to the observation tower.  They have a zipline there and watched people riding down it.  Lester said he wanted to do it and I think he has rocks in his head.  It looks like suicide to me.  We are in a park which is right next to the water which is very nice.  Last night we went down to a fountain they have and watched a fountain show.  They have colored lights in the water and water sprays up while they play music.  Lester didn't take his camera with him so I didn't get any pictures.

On our way here yesterday we stopped at the Osceola Cheese Factory.  They had every kind of cheese you could think of and samples you could help yourself to.  That was our lunch on our way here.  YUM!!  Here is a few pictures of our trip on the way here yesterday.  Hope you enjoy!
