Tuesday In Branson

 I overslept not waking until 6:00 am and had the first pot of coffee brewing when David and then Ben walked in for a cup. They were both content to wait until that pot finished. I started frying the bacon at 6:30 am frying up 4 pounds and then making maybe 35 pancakes and a dozen and a half of eggs. Breakfast was ready by 8:00 am and by that time the kids were starving. After breakfast the kids all left to hike to the waterfall. Below are pictures of that.



After playing in the water and jumping off the cliffs they left for the hatchery. Below are pictures from that.









Mark and I left for John and Beth's house. They live less than 4o minutes away from Branson and it is an easy trip. We saw first their house then went across the field to Tom and Tarah's house and finally drove the few miles over to JR and Sherry's house. John gave a tour of most of the land. 
Above is the humvee John used to see all the roads he made on JR's land and below is JR's pool.
They also had the neatest swinging chairs set up.
Below is the barn John brought with him when he moved from his farm in Illinois to Missouri. He is going to finish that off to store hay in the sides. Right now it is holding his baler, trucks and boats.
Below is his loader, another piece of equipment and Amy's old horse trailer. I bought that, used it for years then gave it to Fede then Fede gave it to John and he is going to use it for his goats.
Below is the engine of John's sawmill.
He harvests the cedar trees on his properties then uses the sawmill to make lumber.
Below is the barn he is siding it in cedar planks

Below is the orginal barn that was on the property when John brought it. He is siding the entire barn with cedar and fixing up all of the insides.
John hooked the wagon up to his golf cart and gave us a tour of his property while the grandkids rode in the wagon.
Below is the wagon tour.

The house in the picture below is Tom and Tarah's house.
The pool is at John and Beth's house.
Below is John's tool shed. All of the walls are covered in tools.

Below is the video of riding in the humvee. It is long but the roads John built were impressive through the woods.

We drove back to Branson had to charge the car, stopped at Aldi to buy more eggs and bacon then to Elevate, a thrift store to buy 6 books and finally back to the house where I cooked chicken and added it to the left over Indian food from last night for our supper. The kids were all leaving for Silver Dollar City when we got home. Below are the shoes that they did NOT wear. We sure have an abundance of shoes here.
A very busy but fun day.
