As many of you are beginning your weekends, the Abbott's weekend is coming to an end. The past few days we have been enjoying a mini vacation to the lovely Branson Missouri.
I won't beat you down with every detail, but I will give a brief overview and say that we had an amazing time. It couldn't have come at a better time. I definitely needed a break. We did take Haley with us. I was a little nervous, but she truly did a beautiful job. She stuck to her schedule, slept through the night, and pooed one amazingly, well-timed pooed (if you have been following my blog, you know--poo has been a bit of an issue lately)
On the drive down, Ian and I shared lots of laughs to pass the time. I really wish I would have written down some of the things that came from my husband's brain because he is truly a remarkably funny person. We took a break from driving and stopped at the Osceola Cheese store. Yay cheese.
Haley had enough fun for the weekend and is super tired. Poor baby. I'm thinking she will sleep well tonight.
I'm not sure Branson is a place we would ever choose to go to again, but it was a good time and I am glad we got the opportunity to go and see what it was all about. I enjoyed relaxing with our little amazing family and enjoyed the r&r with my hubby.

Alright, back to mommy duty!

Haley wasn't into taking pictures with the mouse.
We eventually reached Branson, did some exploring, shopping, ate some dinner...and both passed out exhausted at the hotel for a nice long nap. Sleep is good.
Nap time
There was not a mini-fridge in the room, so we had to improvise on my expressed breast milk. Classy. I wonder if this was a first for housekeeping...
Haley showed off how independent she can be.
Shopping near the "boardwalk". A beautiful view of the river and Ozark "mountains".
It was like a bajillion degrees out.
One of the many things Ian and I have in common is our love for seriously spicey foods. We enjoyed tasting all of the different sauces and salsa! Yum.
Haley went swimming for the first time ever. After she finally woke up, she seemed pretty alright with the whole swimming business. Yes she had TONS of sun screen on, and we didn't stay out long.
Haley and I were posing for a picture for Ian, but she wasn't feeling it. We ate at the Bass Pro Shop. I had an AMAZING fish sandwich and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the river.
There we go, a little better. She's recently "filled out".
On our last night in Branson, we claimed our ice bucket back. For those of you that are fans of wine, I would not recommend the Lucky Duck wine. The $4 price tag should have been a dead giveaway.! Plus I am spoiled because my grandpa makes the most amazing wine. It was suppose to have a cherry and dark chocolate flavor, but it was more like a combination of licking an ash tray and drinking vinegar.
The fun and games was over as soon as we returned home. Ian mowed the grass, almost got stung by a bee, and took off to work. I finished painting the hallway (I still have to repaint all the trim, but the walls are finished). I really like how the color turned out. In the picture, one wall looks darker, but that is just because of the flash.
