Branson with the Majerus'

08.09.2010 - 08.11.2010 0 °C

We bid farewell to Jim and Nadeen over lunch. Thank you guys for a relaxing time in B-Town!

The world's two most interesting men?

We then stopped over for a night in St. Louis with Scott's other brother Mark and family. They introduced me to Ted Drewes, the city's famous custard spot!

The next morning, Susie and the kids (Jack, Nick and Tommy) took us to Grants Farm, home of the Budweiser Clydesdale's.

Afterwards, we drove several hours to Branson, MO (southwest Missouri), home to the 2010 Majerus family reunion to meet up with Aunt Barb, Uncle Ralph and their entire clan:

Debbie - daughter Courtney (Kim & Megan could not be there)
Rick - wife Allie, children Kayce, Luke & Jake
Randy - wife Cindy, children Jake, Nicole & Holly
Sharon - husband Chad, children Katarina, Cameron & Mackenzie
Brian - wife Michelle, children Brandon & Drew

Branson was a late addition to our itinerary after Scott's cousin Randy invited us and claimed to have room for two more on top of their 23! What a great setup - each family had their own room / restroom. They even had a pullout couch for us crashers! We really enjoyed hanging out and playing cards with the whole family. The next morning, we headed to Table Rock Lake where we tubed (Cindy and Holly showed me the ropes), cliff jumped and swam. Scott and Brian jumped off a 40 footer. That evening, the Majerus clan held their annual Variety Show, where every child entertains / performs for the family. They are the definition of an awesome family and we would happily attend their reunion every year. Thanks for having us!
