This summer will look very different due to COVID-19. Do not let that ruin your fun if you live in Branson where not a lot is open. And if it is open, it's not the same. Let's make the most out of it while we can! Here are 5 fun things to do here in Branson this summer!

Sunset Watching

Personal Photo

Watching the sunset here in town is hands down one of the most relaxing activities. Seeing the sun go under the beautiful Ozark mountains... Nothing like it. Then later watching the stars appear in the sky. It is such a nice way to wrap up a summer night! This picture was taken a couple days ago out at Dewy Short! Beautiful.

Kayaking

Personal Photo

There are so many beautiful little rivers and creeks that you could take an all day float trip on with friends or family. Or, kayak some of taneycomo! We really do live in such a beautiful little town and it’s nature is not recognized enough! Go make some amazing memories on the lake! (But make sure to wear sunscreen while doin it)

Cakes and Creams Drive in Movies 

The 50’s diner here in town has officially opened there drive in movie theatre. I don’t know about y’all, but my hopeless romantic self is ALL OVER the idea of watching a movie in the bed of a truck with friends (or your S/o if you are one of the lucky ones) with some good food and good vibes.

Mini Golfing

Lol. Yes. Are there like 50 million mini golf courses here in town? Yes. And have we gone to every single course multiple times? Also yes. But.. They are still fun! Right? Right. Get some friends together and go play some mini golf. Maybe go to dinner after? But... mini golf. Fo Sho.

Mountain Coaster

There are 2 mountain coasters here and honestly... They don’t get the hype they deserve. They are fun and refreshing on a hot humid branson day. The price is actually really reasonable... And after our locals discount? Yes please! Sign me up.

Regardless of COVID, I refuse to let that ruin my summer and be sad because of it. Things may look different here in town, which sucks. But, we can still have a good time here in the ozarks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
