Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy aka Maggie Smith

When Maggie was eating some summer sausage today, she asked, "Mommy, why do they call it summer sausage?  Is it because it's summertime and it's sausage?"

Branson Trip 2012

We just got back from a long weekend trip to Branson with my family.  We had a wonderful time, too!!  We got there Thursday after stopping off at Lambert's to eat.  On Friday, we went shopping in Downtown Branson, including Dick's 5 and Dime.  On Saturday, we toured the war museum and went to an Amish store to pick up some goodies.  We even went paddleboating.  We spent lots of time swimming at the pool the resort had, too.  Maggie's favorite memories from the trip are: getting to take a bath in the jacuzzi tub, going swimming, and shopping.  It wouldn't be a trip with Mag if she didn't make us laugh.  At the war museum, there was a large horse statue that was obviously a male.  Maggie looked at it and said, "Mommy, that's where his poop is."  I about died laughing.  After I composed myself, I replied that that was the horse's private part.  Maggie's reply, "Well, I guess that means he's a boy then!"  There is never a dull moment when Maggie is around!!  Here are some pictures from our trip:

Papa is a brave man...he let Maggie shave him!

Dallas Trip 2012

We had a great time on our trip to visit our friends Fred and Claire in Dallas!  Our other friends, Troy and Beth, drove in from Western Kansas and joined us.  We loved visiting with everyone.  Maggie especially loved playing with Ben, Fred and Claire's 18 month old, and Brooklyn, Troy and Beth's 7 month old! 
We did some shopping, including the Lakeshore teaching supply store, cooked out one night, Rob went to a concert one night and a movie one day with the boys, we went to Dave and Busters, and spent our last day at the Dallas Aquarium.  Here are some pics from the trip:
