Last weekend was beautiful – weather wise here in Branson MO. On Saturday we went to Top of the Rock and did the Lost Canyon Tour. It’s a golf cart tour through the canyon and caves. They even have a little bar in one of the caves. They were starting to put up some of the light displays for their Christmas tour. I can imagine it’s beautiful with the lights at night. I highly recommend it if you’re ever in this area.

Supposedly there is lots of wildlife in this area. The only thing we saw was this beaver.

On Sunday we tried out a bike trail. We didn’t get very far. It’s more of a mountain bike trail than we usually do. Lots of rocks and roots. That would be fine but our bikes shut off when we go over big bumps (do not buy Jasion bikes!) and we were afraid of getting stuck in the woods if they didn’t turn back on so we called it quits after about 0.5 miles.

For dinner we headed to downtown Branson and Full Throttle distillery. We’d heard good things about it. Our dinners were good- nothing really to rave about. After dinner we walked over to Branson Landing. I had heard there was an hourly water fountain display,designed by the same people who did the Bellagio in Vegas. It was incredibly…underwhelming.

During the week we don’t do much besides work , fix dinner and snuggle the cats. This week we celebrated Gander’s gotcha day. Can’t believe we’ve had one year with this little love.

This weekend we had planned go on a bike ride on Saturday but my bike tire was flat. So instead we headed to silver dollar city, a local amusement park. In addition to rides and shows, this time of year they also have amazing pumpkin displays (I love my pumpkins!) and artisans performing and selling their crafts. I had a great time but it was REALLY hot. 🥵. We didn’t last very long.

Next weekend we’re off to a state we’ve never been to before, Arkansas. I hope to have lots to share.
