The McGuire Family

Todd and I celebrated our 9-year anniversary on October 12th. This is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding. We were just pronounced "Mr. and Mrs. Todd McGuire." There are so many things I love about it...Bro. Paul in the background, Janna wiping her tears, the groomsmen clapping, the way Todd and I both have our heads cocked glowing at our guests, and Nona and Papa sitting on the 3rd row! Todd surprised me with a weekend trip to Branson. We stayed at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing Friday and Saturday night. We enjoyed lots of good food, relaxing in the hotel room watching a movie, a little shopping, and exploring Big Cedar Lodge and Dogwood Canyon!
Saturday morning: Getting a game plan
We have been wanting to stay at Big Cedar Lodge for a while now. We decided to drive over and check it out. We had fun taking in the atmosphere, going on a nature walk, watching the guests canoe and paddleboat, and and just relaxing on a park bench watching the lake.
After leaving Big Cedar we went to Dogwood Canyon Nature Park and went on a 6-mile bike ride. The scenery was beautiful and we kept saying how much the girls would love coming here!


Part of Dogwood Canyon is located in Arkansas. Kennedy and Camryn thought it was cool that we rode bikes to Arkansas!

While we were eating dinner Saturday night at Level 2 Steakhouse, we got this video from the girls. It made me cry!
