Girls' Weekend in Branson

This weekend I flew to Branson for a wonderful girls' weekend. What a blessing it was for my heart to be with dear friends who know me well. We had fun and ate great food, but the best part was all the conversation. We talked and talked and talked! I love these friends and look forward to the next time that we can get together.

This was Friday night! We spent the night at Chateau on the Lake. Kudos to the dads who were keeping all the kids - 28 of them to be exact - while the moms got away. Left to right: Rachel, Melissa, Ashley, Bronwyn, Cat and Amy! Melissa won the bet with 80 likes on Instagram by 11:00 PM.

We did heavy appetizers for dinner. Delicious! We snacked and talked until nearly 2:00 AM. And because we were upgraded to an Ambassador Suite at the hotel, we had a living room area where we could gather.

Amy and Bronwyn. Oh, I love this friend! Her five boys are best friends with the Rapp boys - and they all match in age.

Everything was so yummy!

Ashley, you are an intentional friend! Thanks for always wanting to know updates on the Rapp family.

*Disclaimer: I love all of these friends so dearly, but I only got individual pictures with Amy and Ashley. Not playing favorites, these are just the ones I had.

Amy, Rachel and I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at Chateau on the Lake. In fact, we were a bit too leisurely. I missed my flight on Saturday to return to Houston. Thank goodness for a very understanding husband and Grandad and Baba who could stay one more night. 

Time to head home. I did make it to the airport with plenty of time to spare on Sunday morning. Amy and Lincoln drove me to the Branson airport and stayed with me until it was time to go through security.
