The weather was beautiful the first few days we were there. One of the first things we did was ride the Ducks. Below is Frank with his quacker, which we are told to blow when ever we see another Duck!
The trees were beautiful. The leaves had started to turn colors and while riding the Ducks we drove through the woods and hills around Branson.
We go from land to water in the Ducks. This picture was taken from one of the hill tops looking down on Table Rock Lake. This is the Lake we take our "boat" ride on.
One of the first shows we saw this year was the Andy Williams Christmas Show. He will be taking a year off and promoting his new book next season, so we were anxious to see his show. He is amazing. He is over 80 years old and I don't think he was off the stage more than 10-15 minutes the entire show.
Veteran's Day is celebrated all week, the week of Nov. 11th. The first program was a double amputee parachuting down in front of "The Mansion" theatre where all the Vets and families are treated to a free show with many of the entertainers in Branson performing free for a few minutes. The Oak Ridge boys, Kim Barber, Bobby Vinton, Barbara Fairchild, Deana Martin and Yakov Smirnoff were just some of the performers. It was a wonderful show and very well done.
The parachute jumper gave a very nice patriotic talk, before the show. Then he flew off to jump again in Oregon the next day. Amazing story.

Looks like there was some fun going on! I was looking at some of the Branson hotels to stay in, but I might as well just rent an RV seems a lot more fun!
Have you gone to any other Branson shows? I heard the Branson Belle is supposed to be really good.
