Planning Summer Vacation


This spring brings thoughts of summer vacation. We really haven't gone on a vacation in some time. Last year was really out of the question, too many major life hurdles. Every summer, our May and June are busy working on the farm. We not only have to cut hay for our own cattle, but my husband custom bales for other farmers, too.. This ususally keeps us busy from sun up to sun down until the month of July.

In the past, we have gotten away for an occasional concert, but really, not a family vacation. Wanting to break this cycle, I bought season tickets to Branson's Silver Dollar City. Our first trip for the season was last weekend; we had a blast! The second oldest daughter, her boyfriend, and the two boys joined us for a great trip. We toured the cave, rode rides, and listened to some great music. As we were headed back to our vehicles, the kids were already talking about our next trip! Why did we wait so long? Life is so short; it's really worth creating the memories!
