Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Branson, MO with the Shaida family. I had never been to Branson, and it was so fun! We saw some great shows and managed to find some great shopping, too =)

Between the shows and all our stops, Kate had lots of people to entertain her... which really is such a blessing!
