Silver Dollar City

Last weekend we packed up the Excursion with what seemed like our whole house and headed down to Table Rock Lake and Silver Dollar City. We left Friday afternoon and the plan was to do Silver Dollar City on Saturday and the Fish Hatchery on Sunday. I found a great condo for us that overlooked the lake with the added bonus of free paddle boats. Needless the say the weather had different plans. It rained, rained and rained some more on Saturday. We basically just ended up driving around most of the day although we did make it to the Fish Hatchery. Madeleine enjoyed feeding the fish and seeing the turtles and snakes. Unfortunately we have no pictures from this because I didn't want to bring the camera out in the rain. We made a quick visit to Silver Dollar City on Sunday. We had talked it up to Madeleine so much that on Saturday when we went places she kept saying this is not Silver Dollar City. It was a fun trip even though we didn't get the nice fall weekend I was hoping for... maybe next year.

Enjoying the lake Friday night... as soon as Madeleine saw the lake from our room she told me she needed to get her life jacket on. She was ready to go for a swim!
Hadley kept pulling her socks off and people kept telling us "our little boy" was about to lose his sock. Apparently the blue striped pants trumped the pink socks and flower jacket.
Madeleine's first amusement park ride... the hopping frogs... and hop they did.
The train that Madeleine was so excited to go on. She kept telling us she was going to Silver Dollar City and was going to ride the train and wave to the people.
You know you have had fun when you fall asleep while be carried before you even leave the park.
