Branson Again!

We enjoyed another trip to Branson!  We went to the Auto & Farm Museum.

Some lovely cars, most were for sale but we controlled ourselves! Haha!

The Yearwood gang joined us Friday afternoon!  We went to see the Shepherd of the Hills

Christmas lights and enjoyed some kettle corn and a ride to the top of the tower.

While Mandy & Andrew went to SDC with Pawpaw the kids & I enjoyed games, climbing

the lighthouse, the playgrounds & watching The Christmas Train!

Sunday morning we hiked in the Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area.  We hiked the blue route. Lots

of stairs but great views, a grotto & a cave used in the Civil War!  Unfortunately we discovered the

historic Lyle Owen homestead had burned! Very sad. The city had almost completed remodel to use

it for Pioneer Days.  It is assumed that  vandals caused it because it did not have electricity & there

were no storms in the area that early morning.
