To start off with we went back to visit my dad (for the first time since we moved to Boise) and got to tag along to the Shedd Family Reunion in Branson, MO. Now, understand that Cash had been (half-jokingly) telling everyone that he was going to go see the Osmonds. Unfortunately, they have packed up and left Branson... However, we did manage to find other things to do and see. :) First, we spent a few days in Texarkana with Grandma and Grandpa and got to see my sister Kim and her husband Joey. It was great to see them.
A stop in American Fork, UT to take flowers to Grandma Carolyn's grave
We saw the Amazing Chinese Acrobats -- they were amazing!
Spencer liked the karate guys
These girls had incredible balance - and though they weigh 42 pounds they are strong!
We spent a day at Silver Dollar City -- it was a blast. Emmett rode these kiddy rides in a seat all by himself!
We went to the Titanic Museum; it was so interesting and the kids really enjoyed it. They had an iceberg to touch, a deck the temperature of that night, a barrel of water the temperature of the water that you could see how long you could leave your hand in there (some of us made it almost a minute), and you went in as a passenger from the trip that you followed through the museum and found out at the end if you survived.
We finished up at my Uncle Joe's farm in Missouri. The kids ran around, they fished in the pond, jumped on hay bales, and above they're showing off Uncle Joe's quail eggs -- around the corner there are probably a hundred little baby quail. oooh, cute.There was so much to do in Branson, and it was a really fun place to visit.

I love family reunions. How fun for you guys. I can't believe how old Spencer looks. I showed Marcus and he said "woah".
Sounds like a blast. Someday I hope to get east of the Rockies for longer than a layover. Tough break with the Osmonds. Let Cash know that I'm sure Mom has an Osmond family record--that's vinyl-in the house somewhere if he wants to pull it out for a country/rock and roll fix. Glad you're home!
Looks like a fun-filled family road trip...I can't believe Spencer's hair..He does look different...it's summer...where's the buzz?
Are you coming this way at all this summer?
crossing my fingers, Lataun
How fun! It sounds like you have had a busy summer! No wonder we haven't seen you :) Now you will have to take a trip to Las Vegas to really see the Osmonds :)
Gosh! Spencer is looking so grown up!! It's hard to believe.
The Shanghai Theater was one of my favorite Branson shows!
