We took a family vacation with Scott’s parent’s and Jen, Paul, Kenz and D. Grandma and Grappy had made reservations at a condo down near Branson at the ‘Cliffs and Longcreek’ which is part of the Bass Pro resorts (Big Cedar Lodge, Wildneress Club, etc)….Stay tuned for the multi-part account of our getaway….
We drove w/ Grandma and Grappy and on our way down to Missouri, we stopped in Chicago and went to Shedd aquarium w the kiddos….they loved it!
