November Trip to Branson, MO

3 Neighbors met every other week for 2 months planning this great adventure to Branson
Home of Great Entertainment
From when we would leave, airport lay overs, flight times, cars and where we would stay.
Len & Kris Hoffman, Dennis & Carla Hammond, and Tim & Syd Crockett
We flew out November 8th......Kris McIntire was our shuttle service to and from
the airport. Service to help pay for his Madegascar Mission Service coming up!
We landed in Kansas, rented cars and drove straight to Branson where the boys went
grocery shopping while the girls went to see the Oakridge Boys Performance
Early the next morning, we were off to see the comedian, Kohov
Out to eat was a common event.........I mean you need to feed the hungary!
And of course ....... one must have fun! Right, Conheads!
7 full days together...........can we still be neighbors and friends after 7 days?
How wonderful to meet up with our Park 1st Ward Ward clerk.....Arnold Knudsen
You learn in Branson.....never to get down in the mouth!
Which snow man is Tim?
Visiting Silver Dollar Cit gave us a completely different angle on things!
And finding a cute bear for our "Bishop Hank" at Grand Village, helped us from going off our rocker!

One time fee gave us two days in Silver Dollor City where the lights are
beautiful, the shows inside are great & the hot chocolate keeps you warm
Inside the bar where we were entertained while cracking peanuts
and drinking "Snowball Hot Chocolate" This is what having fun looks like!
Talking with the delightful Brett Family after their show
Mother Brett wrote the most tender tribute to our Military Service men

Ready for the show to start at the Moon River Theater where we got to hear 82 year old
Andy Williams who still has a golden voice!
Driving north 30 minutes to LAMBERT's.......home of the "throwing rolls"
Whether they're close or far away, if you want a hot roll, you hold your hand up
and they chuck it clear across the room to you!
Delicious Prime Rib to go along with it! YUM!
M-m-m-m good company.......and Good rolls!
Visiting with the 12 Irish Tenors
Happy and Gay! Now to the best show of all......."SIX" alias the Knudsen Brothers
Four generations of Knudsen's
"Fred & Susan" socializing with the brothers
Powerful voices and magical rhythms
Jack embarrassed us in the audience

Attending the "Miracle of Christmas" theater
Wonderful Stephanie........Arnolds friend
Let the show begin!
Flying into the Great Salt Lake........There is no place like HOME!
Especially when Candice had cracked all the buckets of nuts for us!
WOW! Now that is pure love.
