Oh Si! #BloggingBranson Bye Bye Branson- For Now. #hosted

 Babushka was hosted by #BloggingBranson to see the many maravillas for familias it has to offer.

  The series of posts are BB’s honest opinions and views.



HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
So, "tell me how you feel about a place without telling me how you feel about a place."
That foto says it all.

Our last day in Branson, MO. 
 Time to gather the memories and souvenirs. 
To make sure todo we want to take back is packed away- at least in our recuerdos.
BYE BYE BRANSON...
pero first, 


BREAKFAST!!

Oh how we were going to miss this....
Actualmente, we were going to miss our Castle Casita mucho.



Es cute, quirky, a timeless beauty that doesn't take itself too seriously, but knows its worth and is happy and comfortable in its being. Welcoming all with amor and simple sincerity. Sounds familiar verdad?  Si Beautifuls, if there ever was a true kindred spirit, this palacio is BB's place.

The Beautifuls de #BloggingBranson had arranged a visita with The Track Family Fun Parks that Babushka had saved 'till the ultimo dia.  As soon as she saw that ferris wheel and the montañas surrounding us she knew that was how she wanted to end this trip. 




The Family Fun Tracks  a fun place whether you play or just watch. 

Perfecto for the intergenerational trip de familia!!

BB's trip to Branson, MO.  And for those that didn't see the other places, a quick resumen-




Clay Cooper_Branson MO_BBabushka

A perfect intro to the marvelous musica and musical talento in Branson.  Clay is a natural entertainer who clearly loves the audience, what he does, and his talented familia- who join him on stage! An all around people pleasing party.


Legends_Branson_MO_BBabushka

The Greats done justice by great impersonators. Whether you remember the originals or are seeing them for the first time, you'll see what made them legends via these performances.  The voices, the moves, the essence of the past are performed with respect and real love, and you'll love the show. Shows why the legends deserve their own living legacy.


 Mansion of Dreams- Rick Thomas
Rick Thomas_Mansion of Dreams_BBAbushka

They say Rick Thomas is a Master Illusionist, when in actuality, he's a Master Showman.
Way past "magic tricks", these are most assuredly illusions, although many a time Babushka was left wondering, but one thing no one questioned was the way he twirled story and mystery with bits of humor or playful banter.  When bordering on macabre, merriment would find its way into fun, a joy for the whole familia!


Babushka would love to go to their family reunions! Actually, when you watch the Hughes Brothers perform, you feel like you are in a family reunion.  It's so easy to get caught up in their brotherly banter and jabs. It's also easy to get caught up by their talent, harmony done with heart and perfection.  The love of performing and each other is obvious, as is the reason they've been performing for over 30 years together. Heartfelt horas worth sharing. 


The Haygoods_Branson MO_BBabushka


Wow and Woah. That's what y'all are going to be saying during and after el show de The Haygoods.
A family of 5 brothers, one sister, with their own take on music, dancing and performing which will take your breath away. Ranging from pyrotechnics to party, humor to harp, tap dancing to toe tapping, this familia leaves no doubt as to why they've been performing for over 28 years. All ages, all gustos will enjoy este!




This one isn't a "show" perse Beautifuls, unless you make it into one. Si, this is a totally interactive, submersive you get out of it what you put in kinda place y BB LOVED IT!!!  Plan at least half a dia for this and prepare to be amazed, amused and astounded by all you can do, play and learn here. One big building for all kinds of fun que the whole familia will enjoy. Definitivamente a DO in Branson MO.




If you'd like a more detailed descripcion, here are the posts per day:





So Beautifuls, what's BB's verdict on Branson MO as a place to visit?



Branson is a place for families; establishments are owned and run by families, not big corporations. A little piece of the US that is big on pride and gratitude. Where God, Familia and Country are celebrated in every show and all are welcomed. Here are the big shows of Vegas and Orlando, without the casinos or chaos. This is Branson, Missouri, and this is a place BB looks forward to visiting again.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
Ok, Ok, Si, the collage is a bit busy, but then again, so were we!!!
The fabuloso friends of #BloggingBranson had our plates full on this final dia.
Y speaking of full plates...

Stone Castle Breakfast Buffet
Sweetie's Happy Face, the only reason he'd get up early. A good breakfast.


Fully rested and knowing he was going to have a good desayuno, Sweetie was ready for his two servings of breakfast. They switch up the types of fresh fruit and fresh baked muffins, pero the main elementos of scrambled eggs, country gravy, sausage, biscuits, waffles, cereals and coffee were the same. Delicioso. So just one go round?  JU SO FONII!!  Especially since today he was going to play catch up on missed activities. 


And catch up he did!! We went back to Beyond the Lens because we knew he'd love it. (ok, because we wanted to do some things again too.) Naturally he had to take pics with the alien and Big Foot, play virtual, electronic basketball (had to drag him from that one), pose in the GI Joe box, play some Skeeball, read EVERY SINGLE Kennedy conspiracy, took in the simulated oval office and sat in the president;s chair.  We had to rush him a bit at the end, porque although it was in the same edificio, we had an appointment to go on FLYRIDE, and BB was not about to miss out on that! 



Although, looking at this picture you might think otherwise...

What you see Sweetie hanging onto is a pic of the seats used in the ride. They move and help simulate flight through different regions. Along with air currents, water spray and sound, you truly do feel as if on a magic carpet in faraway places. So realistic que BB is rethinking the rapid water rafting item on her bucket list... Seriously, this ride is worth signing up for and glad Sweetie took his Dramamine. It's very well done.

And speaking of well done, a show that has held it's own for years...


 “It’s good ol’ Country & Western music, with a tad of Doo-Wop, Patriotic and Gospel mixed in.  Expect Country Music past, present, and way cool.  Everything from Ghost Riders in the Sky and Johnny Cash to Aaron Tippin and Diamond Rio. 

 The harmonies this band of brothers produces are a treasure richer than all the gold in California."


And they ain't just whistlin' La Guantanamera Beautifuls!
True to life hermanos, they have been performing together since childhood and it shows.  The good natured jokes and jabs, it's like being in a family reunion- of a very talented familia. BB can just see them as niños...

Little One was most amused and amazed by the bagpipes...

 The years have their timing and tuning down to a T, the harmony impressive and at times hair raising at the perfection.  A not so simple talent that is truly a gift. 



Ask them what the gift is and they share it's God, Familia and Country. 
As Babushka said Beautifuls, it's like being in a family reunion. 



Y speaking of family reunions, Cubanos are known for their "cajitas" of food in fiestas. That's where the finger foods are served in individual boxes so they'll be protected from the elements, distributed evenly, and be easier to take home.  BB uses this to explain why she didn't partake of the included BBQ; we were waiting to be served during intermission. Apparently it was served before the show. We saw the ends of it when we came in, but we figured halftime so everyone stays...



Oh well, barriga empty pero corazon lleno.  It's a show worth seeing, even without the food. And from Babushka, you know that means mucho.

Hughes Brothers Country Show
Feibu Hughes Brothers Theatre
IGrammy the_Hughes



If the Hughes are the understated downhome family, the Haygoods are completamente opposite!  This familia of 5 hermanos and one sister got their start listening to their padre's 60's lp records and remastering them acoustically. And Babushka does mean master them Beautifuls! Raised in the Ozarks they share their downhome roots, but in no way are they understated.


What they are is very talented, in many ways and on many diferente instrumentos!
 Oh, and mountain does not mean not modern. Miren pa' esto- 

Performing Beyonce

They sing, play instruments, tap dance, pero of course they play to an almost capacity theater every time!! Ya figure, to have a favorite show for 28 years, they gotta be doing algo right. Don't pass up this one if you want to be energized and entertained at the same time.  Amazing the variety of songs they cover in their style and they do it so well!! BB garantia that everyone will leave hablando and happy.

What a dia Beautifuls! 
Cansada pero Contenta, we headed back to our Castle Casita.
One more noche in the mountains, enjoying todo and feeling blessed.
Hasta Mañana,
