Ambre and I decided to take a last minute trip with the kids to
Branson, just mommas and kids!! We left Friday morning and came back late Saturday afternoon. We luckily were able to find a hotel that wasn't sold out which included the indoor water park that we knew the kids would love. They did!
Our adventure began though as were driving into
Branson, we spotted what we thought was a drunk driver.
Ambre was driving so defensively trying to avoid her hitting us or other cars, and I was on the phone with 911. By our prayers and God watching out for our kids in the back of the car, they were able to pull her over and we saw the whole drama of her being arrested and taken off to jail. Since we were the ones that called, we had to stay for the whole scene and even write a statement of what we saw. Of course as
Ambre and I are shaking and want to cry from what we just
epxerienced, the kids are as loud as they can be singing and playing in the back. It didn't bother them at all to be surrounded by police cars! In the end she was taken to jail and handcuffed because she couldn't pass any of the tests they were giving her. The police told us she couldn't smell anything on her breath so it had to have been something else but something bad. We just prayed she was taken off the road and everyone was safe...
Here is the car and one of the police cars on the scene
They took her right in front of our car to do the tests, we were hoping she would not look at us!
After all that drama, we finally arrived at our
hotel and got the kids ready to go to the
water park. The kids loved it from the minute they touched the water! There were three kiddie slides perfect for them to go down but of course they had their favorite that we stayed at most of the time. It was also perfect for
Addyson (11 months old) because she could stand and walk around in the shallow water. They had a lazy river upstairs that we used a couple of times, but I didn't get any pictures of that.
Ana Maria is so adventurous and she knew there was more to the water park than just that little slide. She wanted to try everything and we did together!!
This water was a little deeper and with a lot more people, she loved it though!
She walked right through the sprinkling water :)
After playing in the water, they all went back to take a nap at the hotel. It was so nice while Ambre and I took our chairs outside and ate salsa and chips!
When they woke up we enjoyed the beautiful weather and took them to The Landing. It was a shopping area with restaurants and a play area for the kids. We stayed until 9:00 but had to get ice cream before we left!!
I love this picture of her going up and him coming down :)
We ate dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. The kids were so well behaved and both ate fish and shrimp, plus lots of french fries!
We sat outside so they could people watch from the balcony :)
Saturday morning we woke up and Ambre went to get us Krispy Kreme! We packed the car and went straight to the water park when they opened. We were happy to have that to go to because the weather was so yucky and it never stopped raining.
Cuddling and watching cartoons! They are best friends!
The gang!!
We had the best time and it was both of our first times doing this with just mommas and kids! Everyone was so well behaved, slept good, ate good and just listened to us! We can't wait to do it again soon! Thank you Brewsters for a great momma road trip!!
