Summer Vacation 2009

For vacation this summer we went to Branson with some of my family. It was a great trip!

We left pretty early in the morning because we needed to get the oil changed in the car before meeting up with everyone else. Abby was all ready to go with her kitty and her pillow.

Sitting in the car with Daddy waiting to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Slusher. As you can tell in the window, it was not a very nice day out. :( I think it rained the whole trip down there. We stopped and ate at Lambert's Cafe on our way through Springfield. Here is a picture of Abby trying to take some food off her Aunt Robyn's plate. Crazy girl!

Probably one of her most favorite activities on vacation was swimming in the pool. She wanted us to put her on the side so she could jump in. Of course, getting her out of it to go inside was always a chore. ;)
We took her to the fish hatchery one day to feed the fish and she really got into it. I am not sure how many cups of food she went through, but she loved watching all of the fish jump for the food. She also tossed her cup in one time. Oops!

Here is Abby playing in the sprinklers at SDC. It was so hot out, so it was nice to have these water areas to play in.

This was my favorite picture from the whole trip. Abby was all ready, fishing pole, hat, and all, to go for a ride on Grandpa's boat. She loved it! She even tried throwing her pole out to catch some fish.

She even got to drive the boat. I will tell you that she is a much better boat driver than me. ;)

This was a Barney ride that they had at one of the outlet malls. She loves Barney! Unfortunately, it was not working the day we were there, so she didn't get to ride it. :( She did get to give it a hug and kiss though.

I have a LOT more pictures from summer vacation, so if you would like to see more, check out my Facebook photos, or email me. I will send them out!
