Day 103
Abby's Surgery

 Before surgery...nervous and really scared but still managed a smile

 The status update board...# 358791 IN OPERATING ROOM...that's Abby

Resting well after a successful surgery

 Mark and I walked over to d'Bronx deli for lunch after Abby came out of surgery and was settled in her room... found this on the backside of the building...
Christopher Lloyd's "Back to the Future" character...hmmm, ok, whatever! lolol

Several hours later, another Abby smile with the help of a little sisterly smooch and her new little friend "Seymour" the sea lion... "Seymour Butts"...as Kaley calls him :) I LOVE my girls!!!

Day 101
This morning started out foggy.
Standing at the end of the dock at the fishing village where we stayed!

fog just starting to clear...a little blue sky showing through
 view of our dock from the bluff at the College of the Ozarks... aka "Hard Work U"
 Swan on the little lake at the college!


Day 100...Dogwood Canyon and MORE

Day 100
We started our day out with a drive to Dogwood Canyon and took a scenic tram tour through the park. I'm really glad we took that tour but would love to go back and bike ride through it and/or walk. Although our tram driver was amazing, knowing where to slow down for photo opportunities etc., it's still hard to get just the right shot from a moving vehicle driving on a set path...
you just have to take what you can get.
Next time, I'll be on foot!!! Probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
So, so beautiful!!!
I couldn't decide what photos to post so I'm sharing all my favorites! :)





 Our tour guide explained that nearly all the waterfalls in the park are man made.
This one above is one of two natural falls.
 This cave below was discovered while clearing out areas in the park for beautification!


Rainbow Trout







We crossed through the covered bridge as our tour began and
came back across the stream on the way back.

 After leaving Dogwood Canyon we headed to our Zipline location!
This is the fourth and final tower that we zip lined from this afternoon!
The funnest thing I've ever done! It beats any amusement park ride, for sure! WOW!!!

♪...Splish Splash I was takin' a bath, long about a Saturday night...♪
This duck decided it was bath/shower time and landed in the fountain at Branson Landing Shopping area while we were standing there people watching!
