We went to Branson this summer with Brian's brother Clay and his mom and dad. Bryson had so much fun. He loved Silver Dollar City and he wanted to ride Thunderation all day long! He also loved the Dixie Stampede. I think he loved swimming at the pool as much as anything though! 
At Silver Dollar City
Bryson was almost tall enough to ride the rides by himself but not quite. That's ok, I think he really wanted someone to ride with him anyway!
Before going to the Dixie Stampede
I took the kids to get their pictures taken for the first time since Madelyn was born a few weeks ago. Bryson is 5 1/2 in these pictures and Madelyn is 2 1/2 months old. I thought the pictures turned out really cute. The one above this is so good of Madelyn, she put her head up at just the right time. We couldn't get her to smile in any pictures, but she was awake and looking at the camera at least. 
I really like this one of Bryson and Madelyn.
Me and my kiddos.
This one turned out really cute too. I love Bryson's handsome smile and she is looking right at the camera too. They both did so well.
We were all getting tired by the end so this one didn't turn out so well, but what more can I expect? We didn't have any crying, spitting up, or poop in the session at all so I called it a success! I remember some of Bryson's picture experiences and they weren't so successful! :)
Me and Bryson before he went fishing. He was so excited to go fishing in the river. He was also very proud of his brand new Transformers life jacket. 
Brian and Bryson on their way to go fishing in the river. They didn't end up catching anything, but they still had lots of fun. There were too many floaters on the river and I think they were scaring the fish away. Or it could be Bryson's singing that scared the fish away! It's a toss up.
Bryson posing by the river. I love his handsome smile in this picture.
Madelyn and Kainan at the cabin. I love their happy faces. We were successful in getting them to smile. They are so cute together! Hopefully we'll have many more fun visits to the cabin with cousin Kainan. They are going to be adorable growing up together.
Bryson, Madelyn, and Kainan. They were happy to be laying like this for about 10 seconds so this is the best picture I could get before the crying started.
