Silver Dollar City

Last weekend, we took an overnight trip to Branson with Grandma and Grandpa to see the Christmas lights at Silver Dollar City.  One word summarizes the trip very well:  FREEZING.  A cold front moved through as we were driving to Branson, and while we were thankful the rain ended as we arrived, it was so cold!  Friday night we enjoyed the lights and saw a Frosty the Snowman show, the Living Nativity and the light parade.  On Saturday, we went back to ride the kids’ favorite rides.  They shut down the rides at 35 degrees, and it was 36, so we got to experience Silver Dollar City at the coldest possible temperature.  Of course, it was nice and windy, so it felt much colder than that.  It was amazing how the kids couldn’t care less about the weather–they were so excited!!  Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed watching the glee on the kids’ faces and wedging themselves into the kiddie rides with them.  Here are some photos:
