Deanna Rose Farmstead

Our first visit to Deanna Rose this summer. We loved it as usual but it was extra fun because Baby Zach joined us!
 

Swim Time!

Its summer! Yay! Avalyn couldn't wait to get to the pool. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time here.

Dance Recital

Another dance recital in the books! Ava did so good, I am so proud of her. These pictures and videos are from the dance rehearsal.

More Branson

Our next two stops in Branson were Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Grand Country Fun Spot. We enjoyed seeing all the unusual things at Ripley's and Ava loved the arcade at the fun spot.

Butterfly Palace

While in Branson Ava and I went to the Butterfly Palace. It was really neat!  There was lots to see including a mirror maze, science center, banyan tree adventure, butterfly aviary, 3D movie, and shopping.  The aviary was the highlight!  They give you little tubes of nectar to hold and the butterflies will come to you and you can watch them drink the nectar!  Avalyn also got to participate in a butterfly release.

"Very Important Pup" Party!

After the show Ava and I attended the VIP (Very Important Pup) after party! Ava got to meet Ryder, Chase, and Skye. There was also a toy area, reading lounge, and several other photo ops. She left with a Paw Patrol bag full of snacks and goodies!
