Day 12 - Branson, Missouri












We`ve had a relaxing time in Arkansas, visiting family, swimming in the hotel pool, shopping, and staying cool in the hotel room. Today we skyped with Megan for her birthday. Happy 11th Birthday Megan!! Then we took Grandma Casey to Branson, Missouri for lunch. We went to The American Steak & Chicken House...the large rooster in front drew our attention to the place. The restaurant had a lot of home cooking. Papa & Grandma got a catfish plate, I had mac n cheese, mash potatoes, corn & fried okra, and Nana had the salad bar. They also served us homemade cornbread...delicious! After lunch, Nana & I decided to be daredevils and go ride some Segways. Our hotel had some coupons for the Branson Segway & Adventure Park so we decided to try it. Grandma & Papa did not want to join in on the fun so Papa took pictures then they sat and watched us. First we had to sign wavers then we had to go through a small training course. The course made me feel a little nervous because the instructor kept telling us what could happen and there was a slight hill involved. We actually picked it up quickly and we started on the Segway Path. Of course, Nana drove like the race car driver, Mario Andretti and I drove like a grandma on a Sunday drive. Afterwards we got to sign the wall, showing we learned how to ride a Segway and we completed our ride without crashing. Fun day!!
