We had originally talked about taking a road trip to the East coast for our vacation, but with the rising gas prices combined with my dad’s passing when I was needing to start planning….I decided to stay closer and go a bit easier. We got a cabin at Big Cedar Resort just south of Branson for a week….and it was PERFECT.
We just love our time at Big Cedar. It’s relaxing and fun. There’s plenty to do- pools, lazy river, arcade, putt putt, events….and we snuck off property for a couple of days, too.
I’m breaking the recap up into a couple of parts…
When we got there, we had one of the resort “friends” Willow come read Remi a bedtime story. To be honest, I thought it was a little lame (she sped through the book…and I thought it would be a little more “special”, but I think Remi enjoyed it.
At Fun Mountain (Remi’s favorite spot on property), they have a kids rope course, which she did a couple of times. She did this last summer in St. Louis and really enjoys it.
We also made a couple of trips into the arcade. The games are overpriced, but she really enjoys the games…and thankfully, the grandmas gave her a little playing money to give her more time.
We went to a dance party/bonfire on property one evening. It was SO fun. They had it decorated and set up amazing with lots of glowing decor. They had a DJ who played dance music all night. We danced the night away- and Remi and I both won Fun Mountain gift cards for our moves!
We made it a mission to visit EVERY pool on property. One lazy river, one indoor pool, and three pools- and Remi made friends all around. These two kids and their dad were a LOT of fun. They were playing a fun game. And even the retired grownups around were playing with the kids. We enjoyed all the pools, but this one was the most fun trip! We did a couple of evening swims, too- one where we had the pool ALL to ourselves!
