Summer vacation to Branson MO , post no. 4

 Our vacation this summer was the week of July 19th in Branson, MO.  I have to say this must have been the hottest week of the year and  it seems no matter which week we choose for vacation in the summer, it is always the hottest week of the year.  On Tuesday afternoon and evening, we spent time at the Shepherd of the Hills - the grands enjoyed mini golf, hands on activities, the hiking trails and the view from the Tower.  Around 5 PM we went to the Chuckwagon Dinner Theatre Show  and enjoyed a great meal while listening to a cowboy singing group. The meal and concert lasted about an hour and a half.  shortly after the concert, we rode the tram down to the outdoor theatre to watch the live drama "The Shepherd of the Hills".  Except for the heat and humidity, we enjoyed the performance (it was  88 degrees at  8 PM when the drama began!)

Summer Vacation to Branson MO post no. 3

 

We were able to see DAVID at Sight & Sounds Theatre on Friday, July 25th.

If you get a chance to travel to Branson MO, this is another "must see" show. 

But if you plan to go be sure to get your tickets early as these shows sell out fast.

We were talking to a couple of men who attend First Baptist Church in Branson and a friend from church is one of two actors playing the role of "David" - they shared how that during one show the puppet "Goliath" fell to his knees instead of flat on his face. hahaha  (see photos below from Sight & SOund  facebook page)

summer vacation 2025 , post no.2

 On vacation in July we were able to go to see The Petersens (bluegrass family). And after the concert, we did the meet and greet, then we were invited to be the audience while they recorded an advertisement for Branson MO. What a fun experience.  Some of the grandchildren were saying "what is bluegrass?" before the concert, but afterwards they admitted they enjoyed the concert.  










summer vacation 2025 in Branson MO , post no.1


We had such a great time on our family vacation to Branson MO.  The highlight was watching the Logos Theatre production of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe on Weds July 23rd.  The actors had me so convinced that Narnia was a real  place that  I was disappointed when the kids return home through the wardrobe! LOL   By the way, the next performance will be at the Museum of the Bible in DC and at the ARK Encounter in Dec and Jan , and back to the Logos Theatre in Taylors, SC in the spring of 2026 - if you have a chance, this is a MUST SEE show!
