Silver Dollar City

This past weekend Brad, I and the kids went to Silver Dollar City, in Branson Missouri. We had a great time, and couldn't have asked for better weather. Most of the amusement rides had a height requirement of 36 inches. Addison just missed it by 1/2 an inch! We tryed a few kid rides to see if they would let her go, some let her go and some didn't. We felt bad, because she was not scared of any of the rides and most of the ones she wanted to go on, she couldn't. We ended up finding a water ride called the "American Plunge", that allowed smaller children on as long as they were accompanied by an adult. At the end of the ride the boat climbs a big incline and plunges down a slide into the water below. In the past when I have ridden it, I was scared, but not Addison. She loved it and wanted to ride it over and over. I don't know what she liked better the plunge or getting splashed with water and getting drenched. All in all we had a blast and are in hopes that by the end of the summer she will be tall enough to ride more of the rides.

Not the greatest picture, but it captures the look of joy on her face
