We went on two really great trips last summer (2021). For our Dunlap Sibling reunion, we went back to Branson for the 3rd time. On the way in, Sebastian has a work meeting, so I took the kids to see the George Washington Carver National Monument in Joplin. When we arrived in Branson, Laura put together an amazing Harry Potter murder mystery feast. Everyone dressed in costume. It was a wonderful week! We played in the hot tub, enjoyed the awesome lakeside farm house, rented a boat and jet ski one day, went hiking, enjoyed an awesome show and delicious meal at Dolly's Stampede, explored the magical caves at Talking Rock Caverns, and more. On the way home, we stopped by Wonders of Wildlife aquarium in Springfield and were floored by the incredible exhibits there!

The girls and I hitched a ride with my parents to visit Sam's family in Los Angeles. It was so fun to see their cute little home, their awesome backyard and garage, cute baby Noah, all their other darling kiddos. Mom made us DELICIOUS salads every night. We got to see Sam's workplace. We also visited the beach twice. Hannah, my Dad, and I LOVED boogie boarding! It was a fun, quick trip. The boys, in the meantime, had fun hanging with their friend Gavin every day until Dad got off of work.
