Topeka Duck Race and Sept Branson trip

Captain Underwear!!! He was so proud!!!

Branden and I met Papa Jared and Grandma Linda at the Topeka Duck race after Dee's Baby Shower. The walk down the hill to where the "race" on the lake was........... was a NOT so fun experience. It was STEEP so and pushing the stroller down hill was more like trying to hold back a train and keep up with it so it didn't roll away.

And the Ducks were on a race for the finish line!!

Papa held Branden up high so he could get a better look. He looks a little bored up there to me or maybe just comfy, but he had a blast.

The Roadrunner, we see him everywhere. Branden loves him. He hugs him, gives him high fives. I think I need to get one for home to keep lil' man happy. :)

BRANSON TRIP- Wayne, Branden and I left Thursday morning, Sept 17th and drove to Branson, MO to meet my parents at their time share "hotel". Westgate Resort!!!! We got there after a LONG drive and dad helped us unload the luggage. That was the 1st trip then came back for the suit cases. :)

We went and saw a MAGIC show soon after we arrived, it was right there on the resort. Branden was so excited to go, but once in there he didn't get to help the guy as much as he had hoped for so Wayne and I took turns taking Branden for a walk. My walk ended us at the COLD outside pool. It was still ok for feet soaking. But NOT swimming. Even though a couple days later after an indoor swim my dad did go out and swim there. CRAZY old man and it started to rain. What was he thinking?!?!?

We went down to the "LANDING". It had tons of shopping stores and then a night show of fountains and fire. It was cool, and HOT. The flames warmed us up FAST!!! And we were even close!!

Wayne and Branden outside of Caleba's with the bear.

Our fuzzy Family pic by the fountain at night!!

A better family photo as we were waiting on our Red Lobster food to arrive. I LOVE the endless shrimp!!! In Topeka and Branson!!! :P And Branden in his new camo hat we had bought across the street at a craft mall. He is ATTACHED to it.

My Cheesy train conductor. His papa got him that hat and coloring book a couple weeks before at a train exhibit and just gave it to him. He loved it of course. SPOILED!!!

This one is a poser. Always something new with him.

Branson was a fun trip, We did lots of things.

Ride the Ducks ride, Branden even got to drive the DUCK BOAT on the lake,

Titanic (till Branden thru a fit, and me and him sat in the car),

Dixie Stampede, lucky us there was an extra seat next to us so Branden didn't have to sit on my lap. And got his own meal. We all know how he likes his food, so that worked out very well for us. He LOVED all the horses and was up in his seat dancing and stomping. He did great.

The days flew by. But we got in as much as we could while there. We left Sun morning. Went and visited Papa Bill and Grandma anita for a couple hours. We visited and then road the 4 wheelers to go see the cows in the back field. Branden loves to go feed them cubes. Wayne and Branden on one and me and Weston on the other. :) I don't ever drive so I was nervous. Then back to the house to play with the kitties. Grandma Anita had made some cute blankets for Weston and

Then back on the road. We tried to find Rhonda's house in Savonburg. Finally we found it but she wasn't home. :( Maybe next time.

Then home for relaxing and laundry before going back to work the next day.
