Day 77

On to Branson!  That was one funky trip up to Branson.  First of all, I woke up early and met Ashley downtown to do a Sock Monkey shoot for Pink & Blue.  We all had a great time and had planned on leaving straight out for Branson....buuuuuut Mom forgot her luggage.  UGH!  So, we had to turn around and go home and she was nervous about the trip and thought Jack should play for a while.  So we left out way later than we were supposed to.  The trip through the mountains was really beautiful but very UP and DOWN and TWISTY and TURNY and I don't think anyone felt well by the time we got through the Ozarks.  We stopped for food and Jack just didn't really want to eat much and he fell asleep about 20 minutes before we got to the hotel.  I took him in and put him right to bed and we were hanging out when he suddenly rolled over on his belly and some HORRIBLE noises started coming from his Pull-ups!  It smelled like something crawled up there and died!  Suddenly, he woke up VERY upset and acting sick, so Mom fled and I cleaned him up and calmed him down.  I bribed him with getting his choice of treat out of the snack machine and a "Spwite-bwight" (Sprite) out of the coke machine and he got dressed and ran down the hallway with me.  He chose Cheetos and Sprite and we walked outside and up all of the stairs to the gazebo to look at the Christmas lights and talk.  We actually had a really nice little time together.  After that, we went to find Grandmama and went to unload the car only to discover that she had left her luggage.  AGAIN!!!!!  OMG!  So, we went to Walmart and got some necessities for her and she bought Jack a ton of new toys to play with in the room.  We also ran to get some food at Panera Bread and then went over to the Moon River hotel and looked at ALL of the lights!  Jack broke one and we got the heck out of there, haha.  He absolutely loved all of the lights -- especially the ones shaped like animals and he loved the Koi pond too.  He ended up sleeping really good and slept all night.  :)
