Branson Continued

The last day we were in Branson I took Romy to the butterfly palace again because my admission was good for 3 days. Ben took the older two to a petting zoo. The sign said something about bottle feeding a kangaroo and Ben had said "this better not be $20 a piece to 'bottle feed' a stuffed animal. It was real indeed!







Pam and her grandchildren. Cuteness all around!


We came home to a cucumber the size of Romy's arm. Also we came home to take Zeke to urgent care, (He's ok) Gwen had a fever today, Romy has 26 mosquito bites on her legs, and Ben went to the Dr.today with an ear infection. I am the only one unscathed.


Romy hugging Malachi.


Romy got on the puddle jumper floaty and she became a little fish.She calls it her backpack. She didn't want anyone holding her. She was suddenly an expert swimmer that could do tricks like lean back and stick up your feet. It about gave me a heart attack, but it was ok. 

 Speaking of hearts, I made a heart shaped cheesecake for Jeff for his birthday. It was one of the days we were there. He swears my cheesecake is the best he's ever had. I think the secret ingredient is using vanilla sugar in there.


Gwen helped prepare by helping make rice crispy treats.



Romy's help consisted of accompanying me to get stuff at the store and library books on tape and dvds and cds.

I love the butterflies and the kangaroos....look at Gwen's face. Totally worth $20! I would like to feed that kangaroo baby a bottle. I mean, they are cute. Just so you remember, we grew up on a farm. Southern people are hardy. I am not surprised that you survived unscathed from the wilderness. I am pretty sure you could drop me off on a desert island with a clean water supply and I would live for years. My children would die in days of starvation and disease, but not me. My metabolism is slow as a turtle, bugs avoid me and I have plenty to live on for awhile.... Looks like you had a good time :-)
