Our family loves heading to White Water many times during the summer and this year is no exception as we spent the late afternoon of Father's Day floating our cares away.  With season passes, we sometimes come down for just a few hours and other times make a day of it!  Whether you've been to White Water or not, here are some tips for a great day:  

Here are some clues... school is out, we've seen our first lightning bugs, we picked cherries at our neighbors and baked a pie... have you guessed it yet? That's right! It's time for a season full of Summer-time fun!

Fall is in the air and that means the National Harvest Festival is in full swing at Silver Dollar City! My family and I headed down to the City this past weekend to check out the Festival...especially one of the new events, A Salute to the Great American Cowgirl!

If you haven't been to Silver Dollar City during the National Harvest Festival, then let me tell you what your missing. The City celebrates the Harvest in full Fall color complete with scarecrows, pumpkins and fall decor. It's a welcome sight to my eyes. I love walking up the lane and through the Hospitality House onto the City Square to see all the craftsmen and flurry of Harvest activity.

Our son started back to school yesterday.  I don't know if you're like me, but each new school year brings with it the anticipation of a new season, of new routines being established,  the hope of new great friends for our child, and inevitable new challenges.  

As promised I wanted to share with all the mom's bloggers about our Staycation in Branson this past week/weekend!    We had a fantastic time staying at The Wilderness Campground which offers authentic log cabins hewed by Silver Dollar City craftsmen.
