(Group selfie overlooking the Top of the Rock Chapel.)
This trip was fantastic -- very low key and relaxing with people who make me happy, as I believe all vacations should be! We got some groceries at the local CountryMart, then had tacos and rice for "family dinner" ...Chet Lee's gallon water jug is cracking me up! :)
Then we watched Date Night and got the traditional movie night socks pic! =)
Saturday morning, we slept in, then Kyle made breakfast for us (biscuits and a bacon-egg-bread casserole) + orange juice. Yum! :) Then we went out for a "Wilderness Walk." (It was all paved and mostly surrounded by buildings, streets, and people... so my style of wilderness walking!) =)
Artsy photo by Chet Lee -- I love it!
The gang minus me on the bridge by the pretty waterfall.
Tiffany and I by the lovely sunlit river! (I love water, and I really enjoy being out in nature as long as it's a gentle saunter and nothing is crawling on or near me! lol)
We kept our tradition going and went to Billy Bob's Dairyland for lunch in Branson! Yes, please, to Frito Chili Pie and a peanut butter fried pie blended into a chocolate shake! lol We stopped at Walgreens for me to grab a toothbrush, then came back to rest for a bit... Kyle read out on the porch, Chet and Karli took a short nap, and Tiffany and I started watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!
After we came out of our carb-induced coma, we went to play a quick round of mini golf! Chettles refused to play, but served as our group photographer. I was ridiculously terrible, managing to hit my golf ball into the most random spots. But we had fun, and no one was keeping score anyway! :)
TK looks so serious here, holding the flag for our 7th and final hole! lol
We drove to Top of the Rock, followed by an interesting shuttle ride over to see the chapel, where we stayed for about 30 minutes to watch the sunset! It was so beautiful and peaceful, then Chet chimed in with, "Well, that's that!! Yay, sun!" lol Also, this pic makes me laugh! :)
Chet Lee in the balcony!
After that, we hit the gift shop to use our $10 voucher, then we came back to the room and played Uno and watched Pitch Perfect 2 whilst the frozen lasagna was cooking!
The girls had popcorn while the guys had caesar salad and fruit appetizers. Then we had a late but tasty dinner of lasagna, green beans, and a baguette! =)
Then me, Chet, and Tiffany learned the cups routine from Pitch Perfect, and we watched videos and talked about wanting to learn the Footloose linedance! (Yay, Youtube tutorials! lol)
Everyone went to bed, but Tiffany and I stayed up to finish Harry Potter! Maybe a bad choice as we were crazy tired on Sunday, but I was really into it and very impressed with JK Rowling, as per usual! lol Sunday morning, we had a 7:30 breakfast by Kyle... this time switching biscuits for cinnamon rolls and getting a toasting pic with our orange juice (another BC tradition)! =)
We packed, watched part of The Help, and checked out by 10 am, then we drove to Lambert's for an early lunch, where Chet got the world's biggest salad (in a breadbowl, which was funny to me).
Chet wanted Kyle to ask the waitress for a bag of ice for his leftovers, saying that Kyle is good at getting what he wants. lol Kyle asked for that, then followed it by pointing to me and saying, "And she's probably gonna want a picture of all of us, so if you wouldn't mind taking that..." lol So here's our happy Lambert's Pic! =) Thankfully, Chet gave up juicing before this vacation, but the guys were great and stayed pretty healthy the whole trip! Not so much on my end, but I have a new FitBit and March 1st is right around the corner! ;-)
Tiffany was kind enough to join me in picking up the girlfranz then another halfway trip to OKC to meet Mom and Dad and exchange cars again! We got cracked up at ourselves being near-drunk level delirious and tired, discussing our love for Eminem, singing along to old school Kanye, and lamenting how he probably went crazy mostly because of his mom's death. We woke ourselves up enough to go to the 5 o'clock LifeChurch and have dinner at The Blaze... then when I finally got home for the night, I crashed into bed around 8:30!!
Anyway, here's a happy Flipagram with more pics from the trip!

Happy Monday! (If that's a thing.) Hope your week is off to a good start and that you enjoy the last 2 days of February!! =)
