#Summer2025 - Branson Day 4 & 5

July 8th, our 19th anniversary!  We have been quite a few places on this day in the past 19 years.  We seem to travel now because June gets so busy with summer school and horse activities.  

Today was characterized with a quiet morning.  The water was still fast so dock fishing was out.  

We started a few years ago picking a nice place to eat for our celebration and since Sadie is older we let her go along.  We chose the Downing St. Pourhouse, an English style pub with excellent food.  Sadie had fish and chips, Stephanie the Shepherds Pie, and I had the mahi sandwich.  We also tried the poutine!  Very good!

Since we were near the College of the Ozarks we visited the greenhouse and the mill.  Then ice cream at the Keeter Center.

Stephanie and Sadie drive back and I went to the Branson Landing with Mom and Dad.  They wanted to visited the farmers market.  I wanted to see a boat for sale at Bass Pro.  Then back to Lilley's.  Tacos for supper, a walk, then off to bed.  

Day 5, July 9th.

Today ends a summer session so it was a bit of work from the road.  Another session at another school began yesterday, so double.  

We decided to take a boat out so we chose a bass boat.  Steph was the only one to catch fish; one was 15 inches.  It was in to go out but expensive to rent.  Worth it though!

Mom and Dad, and Kay and Marvin went to the Sight and Sound theater to see the musical about David.  We stayed around and napped, then took Sadie back to Books a Million and we got some items at Aldi.  Then I cooked burgers on the grill, went for a walk and closed out the night.  

This place never gets old!
