Every other summer, we get to go on a family vacation with GJ & Papa. We chose Branson this year because it wasn't too far of a drive (I don't really want to fly with 2 kids unless I have to!), and it is a family friendly town. We had an awesome time! We spent most of our days at the pool, but also went to one show ("The Dixie Stampede"), and Matt & I even had a date night! It's so nice to get away and spend quality time with family. Get ready for some pictures! :)
