Branson Saturday

Today was a, enjoy the resort day. No shows. Slept in, then Rosanne made us breakfast. Afterwards, she went up to the rec center to enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub. I enjoyed the whirlpool bath here in our room and did some reading and computer time, along with doing some laundry. Made/had lunch, then decided to drive over to a local winery and then down to Branson Landing. IPhone Apple Maps app decided to take us on a tour of several residential sections...lol. Not the way I would have gone, but it's always interesting to see the residential neighborhoods rather than the shops and resorts along the main streets and highways. It appeared that everybody in Branson was at the Landing area. After driving past all the full parking lots, we decided since we've been here before, to head back towards our resort and get an early supper at Fall Creek Steakhouse. Another one of the area restaurants that throw buns to you. After supper we came back to the resort and enjoyed Christmas Bingo. (You get a Bingo sheet with various songs instead of numbers. The staff play short clips of songs and folks name the songs and then you see if you have the song on your sheet.) Rosanne finally got a Bingo. Along with the Bingo, there were also some Christmas trivia questions. The second or third question was how many reindeer pulled Santa's sleigh. I jumped on that one. Nine! (And I knew this as some time ago I had made a Santa, Sleigh and Reindeer yard decoration. You could make two reindeer out of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Well everyone should know there are nine reindeer, so I made all nine. That sucker stretched out across the entire front yard! lol Most everyone was able to win prizes, which were mostly snack bags of chips, candy, etc. After Bingo, we headed up to the Vista resort. They had listed Karaoke & music at 6p, and then Smores at 7p. We got there about 20 minutes late, and nothing was going on in the Karaoke event. Guess nobody showed up, so at 6:15, staff put stuff away. But the Smores went on as planned, with a number of folks showing up for that. I should have gotten a few photos of that, but was busy with my own smore! lol. Back to the resort, and did some more laundry to get rid of the campfire smoke smell.Læs mere
