Ward Weekender - Fun times with friends

'psst... Do not know why I never posted this, probably because I had not uploaded pictures... Well, here it is without them....


So last weekend (actually in MAY!!)we too time to head to Branson and Springfield to visit friends and attend a graduation.



We started off by taking off work a bit early, yet it was I think 3:00 before we actually headed out of town.... We drove straight into Branson and played around at Branson Landing for about two or so hours. Then we headed out of Branson to E.J. & Vicki's house.



Got up Saturday lounged around and had a big late breakfast... It included pancakes, farm bacon, FRESH FARM eggs, bagels, fresh fruit, milk and juice! WOW - we were so full and had eaten a bit later, that we all skipped lunch. We went into downtown Branson; went into a few shops there, which included a flea market (Lots of Fun!), then we had to take Vicki to work :(!. E.J. then drove us down the Branson strip and showed off what was new and such, then we headed back to their house for a walk around the Farm.



The Farm is awesome....Oh to live liek that. First thier house is cute! Then the land is plenty, with trees and woods around, far enough off of the road to quiet the highway noise, then there is the Wedding Chapel they own, then the veggies, then the chickens, the donkey and Bubble's the ostrich! Then his parents also have a house down around the bend on the same property! Gotta Love it!!



So the kids spent the late afternoon and early evening jumping on the trampolene, riding bikes, trying to play baseball, or was that kickball? Anyway, they all played very well together, which is what mattered most.



We then had a very nice dinner of fresh farm pork chops and chicken! After dinner we sat on the sofa relaxing, talking and I zonked from such a wonderful relaxing day!



Sunday we got up, gathered our stuff and headed on back to Springfield to goto Phillip's graduation ceremony! CONGRAT's to Phillip! after the ceremony, we went over to Jordan Valley Park and the Ozark Stream & Fountain.
