Branson Weekend

So I'm behind, sorry.  On Labor Day weekend we had three days off, so we took advantage on the extra day and headed to Branson for a 'mini' vacation.  This was Amelia's first vacation.  I was super nervous about how she's do with naps and night time sleeping.  And let me just stop right here and say you have to pack the WHOLE house in order to go on vacation with a nine month old.  It was RIDICULOUS the amount of stuff I packed for her!  It ended up being Nathan, Amelia and I and Joe, Lois and Kylie.  We had a three bed room condo that had a fabulous view of table rock lake and a swimming pool.  Amelia was SO good.  Saturday we had a little bit of a rough start because she didn't sleep AT ALL on the way there, so she was already sleepy when we arrived, which made for a rough time getting her to take her first nap.  Nathan and I ended up driving around for a while to let her nap, but we did get to see some BEAUTIFUL lake homes.  She got to swim and play with Kylie in the afternoon on Saturday.  Saturday night she went to sleep in her pack-n-play just like at home in her crib, no problems at all!  I was SO relived.  Sunday afternoon we went on the ShowBoat Branson Bell, which was a neat experience, followed up by dinner on The Landing.  Monday morning we hit Tanger and then headed home.  We had a wonderful time spending time with Joe, Lois and Kylie and Amelia did wonderfully on her first vacation.  I might not stress (as much) next time!

We had just got there, can you see the sleepy eyes?
