Branson Trip - The Shows

Glen treated our family to two shows while we were in Branson, MO. The first show was on Monday night at the Dixie Stampede. The children had a blast. My parents had taken Glen and I the one in Gatlinburg, TN a few years before we had children and we loved it. It was so much fun watching the children enjoy this for the first time. The show begins with dinner served without silverware and while we are eating with our fingers we are watching the North and the South compete in several different competitions ranging from fancy horseback riding to pig races. Too Fun!!



The second show was the New Shanghai Circus - Chinese Acrobats. It was simply amazing. We have never seen anything like it. These young people are amazing with their drums, acrobatic stunts and flexiblity. Our family really enjoyed the show. Glen and I were so thankful for the opportunity to share another culture with our children while emphasizing how God has created each of us differently yet with the same purpose - to Glorify Him. God's creativity was certainly evident in the faces and abilities of each one of the performers.

The children chose which performer they wanted their picture taken with after the show. The boys chose the young man who did the martial arts. The girls chose one of the young ladies who played the drums and the other who was in the acrobatic show.
