So we decided to be very brave and attempt our annual Thanksgiving trip with Nana and Papa to Branson, Missouri. Granted, this is not such a big deal until you throw in a 10 month old and all her belongings in addition to a smaller vehicle from the ones you've taken in the past. We didn't attempt it until Alli was 2. On the way up there, we stopped and had dinner at Aunt Tammy and Uncle Aubrey's house in Oklahoma (thanks for the awesome meal, guys). Alli had a great time playing with her cousins that evening since we hadn't seen them since Labor Day weekend. We drove another hour and spent the night. We drove the rest of the way the following day. Your schedule has to be a little more flexible with a little one in tow so we didn't cram in too many activities, but we did have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day brunch at the Keeter Center at the School of the Ozarks, rode go carts (I think it was a balmy 35-40 degrees), saw Liverpool Legends (Beatles imitators), Noah the Musical, and the Dixie Stampede. After all was said and done, Madi proved to be pretty flexible herself. I'm sure her daycare teachers loved us the next week since we had totally messed up her eating and sleeping schedule. As we left Branson on Sunday there was a beautiful snow falling...and a nice gusty wind...but the snow was so pretty. Anyway, we drove all the way back on Sunday and went back to work and school the next day. It was a nice break, but we came home to a lot of activities and things to take care of in the following weeks.
