Summer Vacation 2012


 Summer 2012 found the Guernsey threesome going on a number of adventures.  Michael and I joined my family for a trip to Branson while Aaron went with his brothers and Dad to Baltimore to see their other brother Dan.  No pictures from the Baltimore trip, obviously, but plenty from Branson.

We met a very nice traffic barrel man along the way.  There's Uncle Justin in the background sneaking up on us.


So happy to be out of the car seat.  It cramps his style.

This was actually Michael's first time to meet Uncle Justin (well, a day or so before the trip, anyhow).  Justin has been in Japan for the last year and a half teaching English, first at a company called AEON, now at a high school.  Uncle Justin missed a lot of things, including us, of course, and candy.

Mmm.  Reese's.
We went to Silver Dollar City (or as my Dad calls it, Steal Your Dollar City), which was fun.  Lots of fake arts and crafts and Western decor, lol.  It's pretty much fantastic.

Smiley guy.  So nice to be carted around everywhere, huh?

Baby and Momma in the stocks.  He got off early for "good behavior", but I think it was just because of his good looks.

On the merry-go-round :)

Uncle Justin riding a bear to battle.

Rallying the troops!

Slain in battle.

Resurrected in bear form!

Cooling off with Grandma Johnnie

Having a snack.  Mmmmmm.

Here we are in "Grandfather's Mansion".  Whooooooaaaaaah, everything's turned sideways!  Scaaaaaary!

Enjoying the scenery.


Grandpa's sweet little man.
Home again, home again, jiggity jig!
We had some fun around the hotel and around town, too.

Swimming for the first time!  Not sure what to think.
 
Fun around town.  Charmin' everybody, giving out free credit scores, you know how it is.

With Momma, having fun eating his hands during the Put-Everything-In-Mouth stage.

When I said everything, I meant everything, including Grandpa Mark.

Practicing standing up with Grandpa's help.

Another mother and son pair, hahahaha
