Branson, Missouri

First, if you haven't voted in our survey you only have 2 days left.  It looks like we have a lot of mixed opinions on what the boys are collecting!  I will post the results when the survey is over and I will also post a picture of their collection. 
Second, a friend of mine and regular blog reader, Kerry, suggested that we schedule a live video feed.  I thought it sounded like a great idea and a lot of fun for the boys to feel like they are on TV.  So with a lot of help from Kerry (who is a genius when it comes to broadcasting, video and well pretty much everything) we are working on setting up the Hulsebus Family Dream Channel.  As soon as I complete the lesson from Kerry I will post the day and time of our broadcast.  Kerry says that everyone can post questions while we are on the air and we can respond to them immediately.  Stay tuned for more info!
Finally, if you know anyone that would like to read our blog please feel free to email it to them.  I do not have  lot of my extended friends and families emails so a lot of them never got the blog info ( www.hulsebusfamilyream.blogspot.com ) ....Thanks!
 Today we left the campground around noon and stopped for lunch at the Little Bread Company in Eureka Springs, AR.  It's a local's hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop.  We all got sandwiches which is the one thing we should never go out to eat for since we eat sandwiches almost everyday for lunch in the RV.  With that said, they were still good.  After lunch we headed to the Thorncrown Chapel.  WOW, what an amazing place of worship.  It was beautiful and so serene. We happened to walk in right when a tour group had been seated for a history lesson of the church.  What a treat!  The story of how the chapel came into being was quite amazing.  Then the tour guide sang The Lords Prayer!  It seriously sent chills down my spine and tears in my eyes listening to her use her amazing voice in such a beautiful place to sing praises to God!  I posted a link so that you could read the history of the chapel if you would like although the way the tour guide told it, it was much more heart felt.  She was a friend of the family who built the chapel.  After the Thorncrown Chapel we headed to Branson, Missouri.  We stopped at the bank and grocery store in Branson and then took the scenic route around the city.  We are very lucky because I have a friend that I work with at GMS (Get Motivated Seminars) that lives around here and he has been so helpful in giving us all the tips as to where to drive, what to see, and where to camp.  We took his advice and are staying at a marvelous campground called Indian Point.

I need your help!  I'm looking for some of your favorite crock pot recipes!  I use my crock pot a lot.  I like to throw something together in the morning and then its ready for dinner when we come back in the afternoon.  If you know of a great crock pot recipe please post it in the comment or email it to me at cindi.hulsebus@gmail.com!  Thanks!  Love you all!
