On Saturday we went to Branson. It was definitely a much needed get away. You would think since we took a vacation this year that we wouldn't want to get out of town so bad but it didn't really feel like much of a vacation when we went to Florida. I guess because we came back feeling so crappy from the sun. Anyway...So Saturday we took Katelyn to the matinee of the New Shanghai Circus' presentation of the Acrobats of China. This was a fabulous show! In fact it is my favorite so far but coming in a close second is Legends in Concert. You can visit the website at: http://acrobatsofchina.com/en/. We were able to get front row seats and Katelyn's eyes were glued to the stage the whole time. There was death defying feats and fun rhythmic dances and soft ballets. It was really nice and I would totally recommend this show to anyone going to Branson anytime soon. We also did some shopping and discovered a secret. All the evening shows start at around 8 so this is the time to shop in Branson. Most of the stores don't close until 9 so from about 7:00 to 9:00 the stores are almost empty. We found some great deals on fall and winter clothes for Katelyn. And the doting mother that I am I didn't even buy anything for myself until I got home. It seems that everytime I go shopping Katelyn gets the better end of the deal. Anyway we went to Springfield to the Bass Pro Shop yesterday. I guess that Katelyn didn't sleep well and I know that she wasn't feeling well. She was in a horrible mood and was really rather hard to keep up with so we didn't stay there for very long. We decided to just come home and I was able to get some alone time at the mall and grocery shopping while Justin watched Katelyn.
Today Katelyn went to her new big girl school. This is the not a circus part of the title. It was so nice to drop her off at a school that was not chaotic with peopple everywhere. Her teacher was great and let Katelyn pick out her own cubby and hook to hang her backpack. She introduced her to another little girl and they just hit right off playing while I talked with the teacher and the cook about some last minute questions that they had. She had no accidents and they said that she did great for her first day. I am really excited about this place and think that it is going to be an answer to prayer! The cook really is a sweet lady. Her granddaughter is Katelyn's age and recently moved to New Jersey. Miss Anna really misses Bella and was telling her daughter about Katelyn who said that God provides in your time of need. Miss Anna has decided to make Katelyn her special girl until she can see her own granddaughter again. Isn't that sweet?!?!?
