We left Osage Beach this morning in a rain storm, and drove right out of it to Olean, to the Testical Festival, Reed wanted to see it and get a shirt, it was in a super little and run down town, only 126 people in the town - no street signs and just a couple of little building, one bar and a antique shop a shop that a guy is fixing up and making furniture to sell there, there was a little park and that is where they had most of the festival set up, Reed got a shirt but not Testicals, "he is Vegan after all"

they had to set up in the rain, but the rain stopped just after 10:00 am, they must have been praying, it was just perfect for them.

Just amazing they have this festival here - there is just not much here and so few people, its just too funny

They stop you in the road going into town and collect $5.00 per person before you even see what your getting yourself into.

This is pretty much the whole town.

Reed and his new shirt - he got one for Scott also,

We only stayed up in Olean for about 30 min and we were on our way to Branson, our place is called Silverleaf Resort, it is about 30 min for the down center, so that's a bummer.

But from Olean it only took us a couple of hours, that is a switch we are usually traveling all day long on Saturdays, so this was a treat for Reed.

We got to the resort about 3:00 and found out we can't checkin until 5, so we drove all the way back to town - this is what the landscape looks like, it is all hilly and millions of stairs, this was a beast to move into, we were pooped, it you can't so stairs this is not the place for you!

We had to carry all our luggage up all these stairs, we got our workout today for sure.

But its really pretty, we are really close to the lake, but can't see it from our place, way too many trees!

Its dated but decorated super cute for a camp type place.

The pool is super nice, and they have Mini Golf we played just before bed on the day we checked in, we have nature tails, there is lots to do here, we should have a good time.

We went to the Dixie Stampede on Sunday night, I liked it Reed didn't love it, but is was super fun to see the beautiful horses.

This just so pretty, you see it as you drive up to the Stampede

This is the stage 

Just us waiting for the show to start

Beautiful Horses.

So much fun to see these Buffolo, come out and to be rounded up again.

My favorite horse

Beautiful stalls and you walk by all these pretty stalls and the horses as you go into the Theater, its done really well.
