Well, that about explains it...

In a conversation with Gram, Henry stated, "Sometimes the tenants move in and they leave a mess and we have to clean it up.  Then someone else moves in and they leave a mess and knock holes in the walls and we have to fix it with duct tape."

Branson Bound

My good buddy Colson and his momma joined Momma, Meekin and I at Silver Dollar City for some good quality fun.  Of course, we didn't manage the camera, but it's probably a good thing - we were really WET!  In addition to getting wet on a ride, the ride broke down and it was raining, so we were really drenched.  Daddy, Gram and Pappy came later in the day and we shut down the park.  We went back the next day (camera included) and rode lots of rides and played in Geyser Gulch.  What a great time!  Meekin and I got good at loading and shooting the air guns.

Meekin found a big kid loading balls into a gun and decided to push the buttons for him.  Fortunately, he was gracious and didn't mind Meekin stealing his thunder.

When it was time to head down, I climbed down the rope cage!

Meeks liked it too!

Meekin was entertained by a magical flute playing man, even though his face didn't show it. 

He decided after the man tickled him, it was ok to break his poker face!

Next stop, Wilson's Farm!  Gram, Pappy and Daddy rode the barn swing and then we climbed a silo!

Then it was Gram's turn to go to the top with me!

This is the face of one happy, ride riding kid!

Climbing high!

Gliding down!

I love Silver Dollar City!  My favorite ride is Flooded Mine, but I like the Lost River a lot too!  I think that Fire in the Hole should be torn down because it's too dark and scary!

The Carthage Crowd

During our trek south, we stopped in Carthage to see all our grandparents and lots of family too!  While we were at Great Henry & Great Niecey's, Meekin decided to start doing one of my tricks and lay across the chairs.  Silly boy!

At PoPo's, we had trampoline adventures!

PoPo even taught me a new way to climb up on the trampoline.  He sure makes a good ladder!

Photo op!

Sprinkler time!!

Daddy was messing with the water and he told us to go fix the sprinkler. 

When we got up there, he turned the water on and sprayed us!

Let's try this again!

He tricked us again!  We won't trust him anymore!

Well, maybe.  Two heads are always better than one!

Almost fixed!

Done! 

We love sprinkler fun!

Hair Construction

Megan came to stay with us for a week and I decided her hair just wasn't quite right.  She really needed a new do.  Out came the safety goggles, saw and screwdriver and we were ready to roll!

Just a little off the top...

Starting to look better.

Now for just a little curl that only a screwdriver could provide.

No pictures yet, she's not ready!!!

Meg ended up having to fix her own hair, but I think I made great improvements to it!

Olive You!

First one pointer, then the other.  I'm practicing fine motor skills.  Who can beat olives for breakfast?

Big Boys and Their Toys!

Contrary to Meekin's look if indifference in the photo, he was having a blast driving around the yard with Daddy in the Bobcat!

We discovered Lincoln Logs recently.  Momma sent them to Gram and Pappy's house so they could have lots of fun with them too - and pick all 1,000 pieces up!

Too Pooped to Party

Poor Meekin was pooped out after a day of junking and Costco with Auntie Sara and then playing at home.  Daddy took him outside to play and he just headed for the hammock.
