Branson - Day #3 Silver Dollar City

We spent almost a full day here...it was a good thing we split it up and came after 3! On Thursday I decided not to take the big camera and just use my phone, so some of these are a little blurry.


At the start of our day, by the old time fire truck, with our maps. Caden navigated us most of the day.
Checking out how the make log cabins...
Then we headed around to the old time school house. Each child wrote their name on the slate boards.

Crosby did SO GREAT all day! He just watched everyone and slept when he got tired!
Cory rode Powderkeg and the boys loved watching him take off!
Caden made a wax hand. This was the start of it. They dipped it several times in wax, then ice water, then he colored it. It was black and orange!
We got a lesson on broom making...
The boys were intrigued...
pretty fascinating, really!
Then we headed to the Grand Exposition area for some good old fashion rides!
Waiting in line for the roller coaster.
Momma and Cole on the flying elephants.
Carter on his flying elephant.
Caden was a couple of cars ahead of us.
Then Daddy got to go on the pirate boat swing.
By this point, Crosby was tired, so he napped while we played a little longer.
On our way out, we dipped a few candles.
Then we watched them blow glass. I think Cory got a few of those photos on his phone, so I will blog those later! It was a fun filled day and we can't wait to go back!

I think we are totally doing the wax hand thing the next time we go back--that turned out SO cool!
