We went to moonshine beach for the first time

 Of course, go karting when daddy came up for the weekend.

Swimming every day in the pool.

 Harley made his first appearance in Branson as well.

Branson August 2013

 

In August I drove to Branson with just the kids and the dog for the first time ever.  I was a little afraid to travel this far with them but since they have done the trip so many times they knew how long it would take.  They were excellent in the car.  Only stopped once to go to the bathroom and get food. 

 

The kids always wanted to stop at this Great American Steak and Chicken house for food.  We went here one morning for brunch.  It was not all that their marketing indicated.

 

Made some time to take some good photos of the kids for the beginning of the school year.

We went to the Promised Land Zoo.  It just opened in the spring.

 We also went "goofy" golfing for the first time.

We went to the Dogwood canyons and went on a 7 mile bike ride to Arkansas.  It was one of the coolest things I have ever done.
