Wild & Amazing Adventures

Apr. 17, 2007 - A Great Weekend

Hi

Today I'll tell you about our stay at Chateau on the Lake in Branson.   We left on Friday morning before Easter and spent one night there.  Dad was offered the gift certificate from work on Tuesday and it had to be used that next weekend, so we decided to be spontaneous and off we went. 

We went to the IMAX theater and saw "Roving Mars."  The screen was 10 times bigger than a normal movie screen.  Afterward we went and checked into the hotel.   They asked if we wanted milk and cookies at bedtime and of course, we said yes.  We rode the glass elevator to the 10th floor before going to our room.  I was a little dizzy the first time, but by the time we left, I wasn't dizzy anymore.  After getting settled in, we went swimming in the indoor pool and had a great time.  Even little sis had a good time.  We met a really nice family there too.   We went to a buffet dinner at "The Plantation"  when we returned to the hotel room to find our milk and cookies waiting on the coffee table for us.  It was deeeeeeelicious! 

Saturday morning, we fed the goldfish at the hotel and then we checked out of the hotel and saw "Celebrate America" before we left Branson  It is a play about our country's history.   On the way home, we stopped in Springfield to visit 2 great used bookstores, yahoo!  We found some really neat books.  Ate dinner at a chinese buffet and got home in time to go to bed and get up for church Sunday morning. 

Here's the joke for today:

What goes peck, bang, peck, bang?

A bunch of chickens in a field full of balloons. 

That's not really funny is it?  Shall we try another one? 

Two farmers meet on a dusty country road.  One of them is carrying a big bag labeled "chickens."  "Chickens, huh?" says one farmer.  "How about this, if I guess how many chickens you've got, will you give me one of them?" 

"If you guess right, I'll give you both of them"

The other scratches his head and guesses," ummm, 4"

Goodbye for now. 

This is dictated to Mom because Princess had typed an entire entry and it got lost before it was posted.
