Branson 2014

This past weekend, we headed down to the KOA in Branson for weekend of camping fun. We recently bought a used travel trailer and were itching to take it on a fun family trip!

Here we are just as we arrived....do you think we are ready? :)


This was our first experience camping at a KOA.  The family-friendliness was the highlight as our spot left much to be desired.  We literally were feet from either neighbor, and from the restrooms (building directly behind our camper).  We discovered there were spots with more space but they were also more expensive so we made do.


There was a pool with a slide, so we spent quite a bit of time here!

This "jumping pillow" was also a highlight!


We had full hookups so we tried out the shower/tub for the first time.  Success!

Lily is finally at the age to pack her own bag.  This was her idea of "camping pajamas". Notice the slippers! Haha! Like her mama, she was apparently ready for the "glamping" upgrade to our new camper :)
Another highlight, a workout gym right next to the restrooms!  While I spent some time on the treadmill, Daddy cooked us a fabulous breakfast

morning time at the park
We headed out to the fish hatchery near Table Rock Dam and fed some trout
Lake Tanneycomo, watching the fly fishermen.  Daddy was disappointed he didn't bring his fly rod! ;)
Out of all that we experienced, mini golf was at the top of the list as a favorite.  
Jackson was hilarious.  This was his "stance" while golfing.  So glad we didn't have to yell "Fore!" at any point during this game. :)
Lily did very well and was great at keeping score!
Since we were out and hungry, we decided to hit up Yelp for a suggestion on a good cheap local place to eat.  We discovered Billy Bob Dairyland...known for good burgers, onion rings, and fried pies.  They did not disappoint!

Although we fought off random showers, overall we had good weather!  What a fun trip and great time in the new camper!
