This past weekend we had our annual MAP conference in Branson. While I worked Stratton and my mom had lots of fun. The meeting was a success and we had lots of fun hanging out with my parents! We got to Branson late Wednesday night, we stayed at the Chateau again (where are meeting is) and when we got there we took Stratton walking around. He loved walking around and seeing the trees and the huge gingerbread houses and all the christmas decor! I had to get up early to start setting up for the meeting, so Jarrod and Stratton hung out before coming down to visit me. After the meeting on Thursday we went to The White River Fish House for supper and had to get the chocolate chip cookie in a skillet- it's the best thing on the menu!! Stratton had a "Bucket of bait" - chocolate pudding with oreos and gummy worms!

The meeting on Friday started bright and early! So we let Stratton spend the night in Gigi and Pop's room so Jarrod could get some sleep (he had an ear infection and sinus infection) while I got up and went to the meeting. After the meeting was over- about noon, we packed up and grabbed a bite, then we went to find our cabin! We decided to stay in a cabin Friday and Saturday night. It's just easier when were all together. We stayed at Stonebridge resort and it was so nice. We had a cute little cabin with two master suites. Friday night we all went to the Dixie Stampede! Stratton LOVED it! He could hardly eat he was so mesmerized! After we got out of that we went back to Branson Landing and did some shopping. We also saw SANTA! Stratton was shy and so mommy and daddy had to have their pictures taken too!
Saturday we sort of slept in before heading out to lunch and then to the outlet mall for shopping! We spent the afternoon at the outlet and then had dinner at Mel's Hard Luck Diner, then shopped for christmas ornaments before ending the night at Coldstone Creamery!
We got up Sunday and headed home! It was a long trip! Stratton got car sick and threw up when we stopped in Harrison to get gas. Luckily we were stopped, so we cleaned it all up and got back on the road. He fell asleep soon after so we didn't have to stop again till Hardy. We got home around 3pm got unpacked and headed to chuch! Whew! What a weekend! I think I need a day to recover before going back to work!
I wish I had gotten a family picture of us at the Chateau- I think I have one from every year J and I have been married! I was just so busy with the meeting it slipped my mind!
