Silver Dollar City~ Branson, Mo
Posted by Holly Nelson on Thursday, March 11, 2010 Under: Family Fun
Next week I am taking the week off. The kids are on spring break. I always love it when they are out of school! We have so much fun! We are going to Missouri to spend time with family. I am also taking them to Silver Dollar City. If you have never been there, you HAVE to take your kids!! Or even yourself at least once! Pictures cannot even describe how fun it is. And don't forget to go through the cave!
Here are a few pictures of our times there!
Family Fun at Sliver Dollar City:
Me and my boys, at the old church with a view overlooking the mountainside~ you've just gotta be there!!
Oh, yes, They are reading the hymnals~ Ryan, Luke, Ian, Noah, Seth
In "Grandfathers Mansion"~ A wacky place with wacky stuff. This room is crooked, I know it's hard to tell.
I did not~ I repeat~ I did not get on this ride! It's in the kids area, but thank goodness I was pregnant at the time.
Okay, I did not know I was pregnant then, but looking back, it seems like a good excuse!
On the kiddie roller coaster. Ryan was much too big but was such a good sport to help out and sit by one of the little guys!
The HUGE play area for kids. Water spouts, water guns, 3-story tree house with slides, foam ball guns and shoots, etc...
Ryan and Noah shooting the foam balls
Luke playing in one of the water spout areas
The Barn Swing! I did not~ I repeat , again~ I did not ride this enormous ride! But , you really should!!
The boys and I resting near the waterfall. Luke is really resting! I was soaked after riding the "Lost River", a huge raft going down rapids. And YES, you WILL get wet, soaking wet!
"The WIldfire"~ the last time I rode that I screamed my poor sister-in-law's(Sally) ear off! I bet she couldn't hear for a month!
In the kids area again~ a barn with lots of great toys for kids.
A swinging bridge~ You don't have to go over this , but I've always loved going across this bridge. That is, until I went across with my boys...If you have boys, you know what I'm talking about!
Awww, Ice Cream! You have to stop by and get ice cream, one of the best things!
And I'll end it with some trivia! Answer: Licked from a small glass called a penny lick or wrapped in wax paper and referred to as a Hokey Poke. Is that where we got the "Hokey Pokey" song? I'll have to look that up!
* In all seriousness, I was not able to ride the roller coaster rides because of my meneire's disease, but I did not let it slow me down. Thankfully my little brother,that is single with no children, was there to ride with my boys. And I still had fun doing everything else!
Here is me and my "little" brother! He is such a good sport!
