Branson: Family Fun for Labor Day!

Want some family fun for Labor Day? Consider Branson, Missouri!

Looking for a fun family getaway over Labor Day? Consider Branson!

Branson, Missouri is one of our family’s favorite places to visit. In fact, after spending at TON of money going to Disneyworld earlier in the year my husband and I agreed, “Why did we spend all that money in Orlando when we could have just gone to Branson?”

There are a few reasons why we love Branson:

1. Old fashioned values.

Everywhere you go in Branson there is wholesome, family fun. Most of the shows are great for families. The service people there are friendly and courteous. And there’s a special, patriotic flare to the city that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

2. Awesome activities.

In Branson the question isn’t, “Is there anything to do?” Instead, we always ask ourselves, “What should we do this trip?” We previously enjoyed the Titanic Museum, shopping at Dicks Old Time 5 & 10, and visiting the Amish Country Store. Most of the time we just visit Silver Dollar City and then head back to Little Rock, but on our most recent trip we decided to enjoy a few more attractions. We also chose to stay in the hotel we’ve been looking at with longing since our first trip to Branson. (More below!)

3. Amazing lodging.

We’ve never had a bad stay in Branson. There are many places to stay at reasonable prices. We’ve enjoyed the The Suites at Fall Creek, and most recently we stayed at our new favorite place: Chateau on the Lake.

4. Price.

The hotels and attractions at Branson are a lot cheaper than Disneyworld, and personally we find them just as much fun!

Want to go for Labor Day? (Or anytime?) Here are my recommendations:

Chateau on the Lake

We fell in love with this Cinderella castle the first time we drove by Table Lake. The kids were so excited when they found out we were finally going to stay there!

We stayed for two nights and spent one whole evening in the pool. The water was perfect and the view was amazing.

The pool at Chateau on the Lake, Branson

The resort is just as beautiful in the inside as it is on the outside. The room with the double beds had plenty of room for us and our three little kids. (We had one bed and they had the other!)

My kids’ favorite part was the cookies and milk that was waiting for us in the room. We weren’t there when Mr. Teddy visited, but the kids were so excited about the treats!

Mr. Teddy delivers cookies and milk to children staying at Chateau on the Lake.

We had a busy day ahead of us in Branson, but with a view like this I found myself dawdling just a little. If only I could wake up to this every day!

The view from our hotel room was heavenly!

Our family highly recommends Chateau on the Lake. We didn’t get to enjoy the kids play area or the spa (yet!), but we want to make sure we do that next time we return.

Silver Dollar City

Silver Dollar City is an amazing theme park. To me it’s Mayberry come to life, with some thrill rides thrown in for fun!

Silver Dollar City is comparable to Knots Berry Farm, but it has more unique details such as artisans who blow glass and who demonstrate how to make a log house. SDC has the same level of darling details as Walt Disney World, and it also has some amazing roller coasters that my husband and older kids love. (I love them, too, but I’m usually hanging out with the little ones.)

Silver Dollar City: The “American” experience you’ve always wanted

The lines at Silver Dollar City are FAR shorter than Disneyworld, especially if your visit starts in the morning. There is free parking and a shuttle, but we pay the minimal cost to park closer. (It’s a short walk from the paid lot.)

There are a half-dozen areas around the park that have kids rides and play areas, and we’ve never been able to do them all in one day. This is perfect place for those with kids of varied ages, like us. Our favorite things to eat are the ice cream with strawberries and the Barbecue was great, too!

Silver Dollar City has attractions for even the most reluctant riders

At Silver Dollar city the big ones don’t get bored either! They have some amazing roller coasters. There is even an app that you can download for your phone that will give you the wait times for the rides before you get in line.

Roller coasters ROCK at Silver Dollar City

We bought season passes to the park. Branson is a three hour drive from where we live in Little Rock, and we’ve discovered that if we go twice it pays for the passes!

Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede

Have a group? Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede is a great place to visit! It’s a dinner theater full of great food, exciting action, humor and fun!

I have to admit I was blown away by the amazing horsemen and women at the Dixieland Stampede. I was expecting some prancing and dancing, but it turned out to be so much more! (Rings of fire! Aerobatics!)

For days (weeks!) after going to the Dixie Stampede my kids talked about the horses, the fire, and the races. They waved their flags and cheered on their favorites during the show and mimicked that when they got home. I was impressed by how much of an impression the show made!

Of course while we were watching the show we were also EATING. Below is a picture of all the food you get! There is far more than one person can eat, and they do pass our doggie bags for you to take your leftovers home.

Also, if you’re on a limited budget, small children can sit on their parents laps. With our group we had 5 adults and 5 lap sitters and everyone was happy and full!

New food shot — Food at the Dixie Stampede is delicious!

Also, before you go in to the show, you get your family photo photo taken. I love ours! I was also pleasantly surprised that the photo package wasn’t too expensive ($30). I gladly bought ours.

Even though we’ve been to the Dixie Stampede twice already, our kids can’t wait to go back!

Ride the Ducks – Branson

Our last trip, we wanted to do an attraction that we’d never done before. We picked Ride the Ducks. I like the idea that we’d be riding in an old WWII vehicle, and I knew my kids would love that their “bus” could go into the water.

Starting off, we bought all the kids a duck whistle ($3 each), and they loved them.

The kids smiles were huge as we rode through town. They loved waving and “quacking” at all the cars that we passed. They felt like we were in a parade.

Bella enjoyed “quacking” at the cars as we drove through Branson.

Before we went to the water, we went to a special exhibit of WWII vehicles. I’ve only included a few photos here, but they were cool! There were at least two dozen types of old military vehicles. Our driver was fantastic, too. He shared a lot of history about the various vehicles, with a touch of humor. No one was bored!

A WWII history buff, Mom’s favorite part was the antique vehicles from WWII!

After seeing the military vehicles it was time to head to the lake.

The view of Table Lake on our trip down to the water was amazing!

But as pretty as the view was, the best part was seeing my daughter’s glow as she drove the Duck in the water. In fact each of the children had a chance to be “captain” of the vehicle during our ride. That was a nice touch! And they were even able to print up a Captain’s certificate at the end of the ride.

There was also an awesome museum of military history when you disembarked. Because I had the little ones I didn’t get to look around as much as I would have liked. I’d love to go back!

If you’re looking for a place to go on Labor Day weekend–or another time during the year–I highly recommend Branson. In fact … we’re planning on heading up there over Labor Day weekend. Maybe we’ll see you!

Best Places to Spread Out a Summer Picnic

There is nothing more romantic than a summer picnic with the man I love. Maybe you feel the same?

Do you like the ocean or the mountains? Would you rather stretch out a blanket on a mountain meadow or on the sand?

Do you want to be in a locale where there’s lots of restaurants and shops to explore, or do you want to be in a small quaint town?

Dreaming about where you’d like to go is something you can do together. Dreaming is almost as fun as going—especially when you do it together. Take a little time this week to dream about where you’d like to go, then compare lists!

Consider these four locations as a starting point for finding your perfect picnic place!

Halstatt, Austria

I traveled to Halstatt with my husband, John, in 2002. It’s a picturesque village of less than 1,000 people in Austria. Halstatt is known for its salt mines, dating back to prehistoric times. John and I stayed in an old hotel overlooking the town square, and during our first moments we were able to watch a local celebration. The town square is a beautiful place to have your picnic, or there are numerous other places overlooking the lake. And after the picnic is done? Here are our top three things to do there:

Visit the salt caves. A wonderful gondola took us to the top of the mountain where we toured the caves. The tour was fantastic.
Visit the Beinhaus (bone house). Visiting a bone house might not be everyone’s idea of fun, but John and I love exploring local culture. There are more than 1,200 skulls in the bone house, 600+ which have been painted with designs. Since the cemetery is so small, without the possibility of expansion, and since cremations used to be forbidden, 10-15 years after a person’s death the skull and larger bones were removed to make room for the next occupants.
Museum Hallstatt. There are rooms filled with exhibits and information files in many languages, including English. The archeological displays were fascinating!

Crescent City, California

Growing up, one of our favorite things to do was “go to the coast.” Crescent City was about four hours away from our northern Californian home. There are wonderful beaches in Crescent City, and it’s not as crowded as many other places. Spread out your blanket to watch local surfers—and the seals that try to outdo them. Things you don’t want to miss:

The Redwoods. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State park is just one of the local places you can view these amazing redwood trees. There are wonderful hiking trails, and walking among the giants you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into another world.
Battery Point Lighthouse. To reach this lighthouse you have to go at low tide. The lighthouse itself is small and homey—it looks like something from a movie. This lighthouse is staffed by volunteers who stay in the lighthouse a month at a time. They keep the place tidy and conduct tours with the help of docents.
Beachfront Park. I have photos of myself playing here as a child. You can go from running in the grass to running on the beach in only a few steps. It’s a great place to collect sea shells!

Planning a last-minute vacation? Consider going to one of these locations (@TriciaGoyer):

Lake Siskiyou, California

Lake Siskiyou is located in Mount Shasta, California, and I grew up just ten miles away. The best time to visit is for the 4th of July celebrate and parade in the town of Mt. Shasta. After the parade, go to the lake early to make sure you have a spot, because the beach gets crowded. The water from the lake is crystal clear, and the view of Mt. Shasta can’t be beat!

Other local places to visit:

Castle Crags State Park. The jagged peaks indeed look like a castle. There are 28 miles of hiking trails in a still wilderness area, not far from Lake Siskiyou.
Mt. Shasta City Park. Visit the city park and there you’ll find the headwaters to the Sacramento river. Mountain snow gushes from the ground and drops off small ledges. The park is a great place to run around and play like a kid.
McCloud Falls. The nearby town of McCloud hosts the Upper Falls, Middle Falls, and Lower Falls of the McCloud River. The road takes you to the Lower Falls and there you can climb up to the Middle and Upper Falls where you’ll also see a lovely view of Mount Shasta.

Glacier Park, Montana

I lived near Glacier Park for fifteen years, and even though I’ve traveled the world there was nothing more amazing that visiting this national park. Top three places you won’t want to miss:

Going-to-the-Sun-Road. I’ve driven this road dozens and dozens of times, and each time I’m awed by the beauty. It opens around June 21 . . . because it takes so long to clear the snow off these high mountain peaks! The road travels into the high mountains and has expansive vistas that will take your breath away. At the top is a visitor center where it’s common to be greeted by rams and mountain goats!
Lake McDonald Lodge. This beautiful mountain lodge is one of the finest Swiss Chalet hotels in the United States. The front of the hotel actually faces the lake because steamboats used to bring tourists over the water before the roads were built. Inside the lodge, balconies face toward the three-story lobby. If you know how to play, a piano in the lobby is open to talented guests.
Avalanche Lake Trail. This two-mile hike takes you to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes you’ve ever seen. If hiking isn’t your thing, stay on the cedar walking path below, which will take you to Avalanche Gorge. This walking path is perfect for children and is wheelchair accessible.

So how about it? Which location would interest you (and your man) most?

Where is your favorite place to spread out a blanket with the man you love?

Best Places to Spread Out a Spring or Summer Picnic

I don’t know about you, but about this time of year, I am ready for summer. I’m ready for flowers to bloom, leaves on the trees, stepping outside and feeling the warm sun on my skin, wearing shorts and sundresses.

Do you feel the same way?

What’s my other favorite part of summer? Spending time outside, whether it’s a family vacation, a barbecue with my kids and neighbors in our cul-de-sac, or a date with my husband.

There is nothing more romantic than a summer picnic with the man I love. Maybe you feel the same?

One way to get past the winter blahs is to start planning for a summer picnic . . . today!

Even though the cold wind still blows outside, you can start planning the perfect summer getaway. Spend time with your spouse considering the perfect spot to get away.

Do you like the ocean or the mountains? Would you rather stretch out a blanket on a mountain meadow or on the sand?

Do you want to be in a locale where there’s lots of restaurants and shops to explore, or do you want to be in a small quaint town?

Consider these four locations as a starting point for finding your perfect picnic place!

30 Free and Fun Things to Do This Summer | Board Games

Living in Montana for fifteen years meant outside fun in the summer. We only had three months of good weather, so we went to the lake, went to the park, and played in the yard. In Little Rock we have nine months of good weather, and then there is summer. I was shocked to find out that kids in the south spend a lot of time inside, but I understand! Being at the park is no fun when it’s one hundred degrees!

Whether you need to beat the heat or just need to cool down for a few hours, one free, fun thing to do is play board games. Little Alyssa is still trying to get the idea of “rules,” but we’re having a fun time teaching her! Here she is playing games with her older sister, Leslie:

What were your favorite board games as a kid? What games do you like to play now? What are your kids’ favorite games?

30 Free and Fun Things to Do This Summer | Explore Your Neighborhood

Last week Alyssa wanted to go on an adventure or, as she says in her two-year-old words, “Go -venture.”

It was almost nap time, so I knew we could go far. *Enter brilliant idea* . . . we decided to explore our neighborhood.

I live in a subdivision with newer brick houses that all look similar. What was there to explore?

From the photos you’ll see here was a lot . . . especially in the vacant lot!

If you want a free “venture,” consider exploring your neighborhood. You’ll never know what you’ll find!

30 Free and Fun Things to Do This Summer | Puzzles

If you follow me either on Facebook or Twitter, then you know one of the Goyers’ favorite pastimes: puzzles. Two-year-old Alyssa loves puzzles. “Play puzzles with me, Mommy?” I hear every day. Buying a puzzle isn’t free, but they aren’t that expensive (from one dollar to five dollars). I think the cost is worth it, especially when Alyssa plays with each puzzle a few times a week.

When Alyssa first started playing with puzzles, she connected the shapes. One day I was talking with my friend Emily, and we looked over to see Alyssa had made a perfect square . . . but the picture didn’t match. How she put all the pieces in the wrong spots but still had them fit—I have no idea! Recently she has started looking at the pictures. 🙂

Puzzles are great for logical thinking. I never taught her, but Alyssa begins by picking out one object in the picture and building around that. Smart cookie!

Puzzles come in all shapes and sizes, but a smaller puzzle is easier to start with. Then you can work up to bigger and more complicated puzzles. I started with block puzzles and board puzzles with ten to twelve pieces, but now we solve larger puzzles.

Recently Alyssa completed a thirty-six-piece puzzle by herself in eighteen minutes! I also love sitting beside her and helping her, too. “We did it!” she declares when the puzzle is finished.

One of the great things about puzzles is they’re portable. When I first bring a puzzle home, I keep it in the box, but after a while the picture on the box isn’t needed for reference. I then throw away the box and put the pieces into ziplock bags. I often put these bags of puzzles in my purse or Alyssa’s backpack. I’ve pulled them out in hotel rooms or even doctors’ offices, and they help the time to go fast. More than that—they’re fun!

So try a puzzle with your kids this summer, and when you finish, send me a photo! I’d love to see it!
