The wedding, Dam, and Branson.

So the rest of our vacation went like this...


Saturday Rebecca got married!  We had a great time and we taught those in Arkansas how we do it in Michigan!!  They don't dance.  I was shocked when I heard this.  My thought was that maybe it was Bobbys family that don't dance.  Not really sure, but the DJ said it was the first time they ever saw men dance the dollar dance with the groom.  Boy did we ever show them how we do it!  Joshua "taught" his cousins grandma how to dance.  Everyone had a great time.

As planned we moved the camper to Uncle Rob and Aunt Tammy's house on Monday.  On Tuesday we went to see some of the area.  We went to Bull Shoals dam, and to the state park.  That night we had a fish fry. 


On Wednesday we went to Branson.  Yup, back to Missouri.  We wanted to take Adam to the Titanic museum.  We looked up some other attractions and planned to go on a train ride also.  It took about 1 1/2 hours to get there.  We went with Matts parents, sister and niece.  We got there got our tickets for the train and found the museum.  We ate lunch at Shoney's.  This is the first time my kids have ever been to a buffet other than a chinese one.  They loved the fact that you could get your food and not wait. I'm not really a big fan but it was fast and everyone was happy.  We went on our train ride.  It was nice but not worth the $115 we spent on it.  We then went to the museum.  That was worth evey dime we spent on it!  It was much cheeper than the train and so much more enjoyable.  My son Adam LOVES  Titanic.  He saw the movie when he was about 5 years old.  He has seen the original black and white film.  He loves the documentary films.  His gramdma gave him the sound track to the movie last year for his birthday.  He was really excited to go to the museum.  We spent about 3 hours going through it.  This was one of the few things that I really wanted to do on this vacation and I was so happy that he got to go!  We were not allowed to take pictures in the museum but I did get one of the building.  



Pretty cool huh!

When we got back to Unce Rob and Aunt Tammy's we found out that Jennifer had to fly back home unexpectedly the next day.  The kids were not happy about this at all.  They had just met their cousins for the first time and didn't want to say good bye yet.  The good news though was that they are going to be in Utah now and not England.  We can roadtrip to Utah ( they have National Parks) but we couldn't pull the camper to England.
