We went to Branson to visit Abby’s Mimi and Papa about a month ago. We’ve been to Branson many times because Gina’s parents live there, but we hardly ever do any Bransony type stuff. We made a mini-vacation out of this trip so we thought it would be appropriate to bite the Branson fruit and let the nectar run down our faces. Gina’s mom works at a big resort and she got us a very nice suite to stay in. The place has several swimming pools so Abby was pretty happy about that. A huge draw in Branson is the World’s Largest Banjo. As you can see in the picture the neck goes all the way out the window.

It rained a lot on Tuesday, so to get out of the house, which was driving both of us to madness with Gina out of town for a few days, we went for a drive. Eventually we found ourselves at Harris Brake Lake in Perry County, west of Little Rock. The clearing storms created some cool clouds. For the photo I metered on the clouds and then threw some light on Abby with the pop-up flash.

After the photo session we walked down to the water’s edge so Abby could throw some rocks. She asked if she could put her finger in the water and I nodded. Just before she got her finger wet she looked up and asked, “Are there any sharks in this lake?”

I don’t know. She was making some kind of fish face.
