TIBB

We were introduced to the phrase 'This is Branson baby' or TIBB for short while visiting our friends Cameron and Sonia. It was really fun to have a break from our little town and see familiar faces. We drove in on Saturday morning and then headed to White Water water park. It was a super hot day, so it was great to be wet. Russell and I also were daring and rode on the super high water slide where you have a bit where you are going practically straight down. It was cute, when we left the water park, Russell said 'I'm glad I did that, or any time I saw something high, I'd regret it. I mean there were little kids doing it, I had to be a big brave man' :) We then spent some time hanging out with the Norvells just catching up and just gleaning off their wisdom. They have been married 7 years and are a bit older than us, so it was great to just hear what they had to say. Sunday, in lieu of going to a theme park when the day was already in the 90's at 9 am, we just drove on home. We stopped to run some errands in Springfield then made our way back to Waynesville.

We have officially been here a month. CRAZY. In one month I will fly home for a week to help with the final preparations for Bonnie's wedding. I am looking forward to seeing family and Houston friends.

PS Courtney, from our new cook book I have made taco bake, spinach bars, and white chicken chili, all very tasty. I made the lemon scones, they are kinda plain on their own, but good with jelly. I'm making the El Dorado casserole tonight, I'll let you know how it goes.
