Pizza

Tonight we thought we would have some fun with dinner!  I used the bread maker to make homemade pizza dough from scratch and then the kids had fun making their own creations.

Peyton with her pizza.

 Kassidy with her pizza.

Katelyn with her pizza.

Gracey decided that she wanted to play instead!

Gracey Loves to Sleep...

I sat Gracey the the big chair today for a minute to help the kids and when I turned around she had fallen right asleep.  She always has to have a blanket to grab onto when she sleeps.  It doesn't matter what blanket as long as she has one in her hands.

Bass Pro Shop & Lambert's Cafe

On our way to Branson we stopped at Bass Pro in Springfield so that the kids could see the fish and animals.  They even had a live alligator!  The kids sat on boats, 4-wheelers, saw fish, and "stuffed" animals.  Before we left the kids got to hold a record breaking fish!

4 of the 6 loved the bear

Really neat turtles

The clan in front of a scary bear!

Is there anyone in there?

After Bass Pro we headed to Lambert's Cafe so the kids could catch a roll or 2!  Carolyn and Connor had a blast.  Robin was amazed with the size of the servings!  Her salad alone could have fed the entire table.  I bet it had 2 heads of lettuce in it!

Grandma Liz Has A Farm...(Branson Part 1)

Since we were all heading to Branson with Josh, Robin, and the kids we stopped and stayed the night at Grandma Liz's house.  This was the first time that the Pope's saw the farm.  In fact, Josh's GPS told him that "you are on your own..."  The kids loved seeing and feeding the cows and running around the farm.  We even got to go and see some horses down the street.  The kids had a huge sleep over in the front room while watching Anastasia.  When we got up the next morning we fed the cows one last time before heading to Branson!

4th of July - Incredible Pizza

Since 4th of July this year was supposed to be a rain out...we decided to head to Incredible Pizza with Uncle Josh, Aunt Robin, Carolyn, Connor, Papa Cliff, and Sharon.  We enjoyed the pizza buffet while watching a movie in the "auditorium" room and then we all got to play 2 hours in the game room.  We decided to get special of the day which included 2 hours of unlimited play.  This included the go-carts, bowling, mini-golf, and most of the arcade games.  Carolyn, Kassidy, Katelyn, and Connor loved riding the go-carts.  Peyton and Brock loved bowling and playing all the other games.  I know the Webb family had a blast getting to spend time with the Pope's!

After Incredible Pizza we tried to go to Spanky's Ice Cream but they were closed.  We ended up the the "walk-up" Dairy Queen in Affton.  We decided to head home after ice cream because we still had to pack for Branson with Gramdma Liz and Josh.  When we got home we got to watch Vince shoot off fireworks for us! We all had a lot of fun!
