Silver Dollar City

We had the merriest Holidays this year (until we caught a stomach virus after New Year's--another story for another blog post)! We had a cozy Christmas Day in our new home that we love to abide in. Then the next day we decided to go to Bentonville, Arkansas to visit my parents. They had two free tickets to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri and were willing to let us use them. I LOVE Silver Dollar City! Who's with me?? Maybe it's nostalgic for me because I loved going as a child--dunno. Anyhow, we had a super chilly fantastic time. It was so fun, I've decided to tell you about in verse:

When we woke up that morning it was 34 degrees.
We thought, "This is not a problem--the weather's a tease!"

So we packed up our things and were off for our trip.
We entered Silver Dollar City with smiles on our lips.
Our first stop after buying Maisy some gloves and a hat
was at the ice cream soda shop for some hot chocolat.
With our bodies warm and toasty, we were off to take a lookie.
We ended up in an oversized heated tent, and Wilson decorated a cookie!
My main reason for going to the park was to eat one of these treats.
It's a smore with messy chocolate so I didn't expect to be neat.
Tinker the Talking Tree was one of our favorite events of the day.
He was jolly and cheesy and we didn't know what next he would say.
The Geyser Gulch, "the world's largest tree house," is always an imperative stop
It consists of a huge vaccuum, shooters, and thousands of balls that spontaneously drop.
Wilson and Maisy frolicked and played until time to leave was soon nigh,
But then the vacuum sucked up Maisy's mitten and it went two stories high.
We had a delightful time, but when "I'm so cold!" is all Maisy could say
We said good-bye to the festive lights, and decided to call it a day.
