In order to bring awareness to our children about the sugar addiction we have as a nation and the problem of type 2 Diabetes, our family went on a 9 month sugar fast. We avoided sugar the entire time except for birthdays and holidays. It wasn't easy, but as a family we were able to accomplish this goal. Both grandmothers have type 2 Diabetes and so we spent some time educating the kids about this preventable disease during this time. We also discovered how our society associates love with gifts of sugar. Which is highly ironic since it can cause such a devastating illness.
As a reward for accomplishing this goal we spent two days in Branson and went to Silver Dollar City. We had a blast on our vacation. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had at an amesument park that is set around the year 1888 and hillbillies.
While in Branson, Jared and I were also able to go and watch the Haygoods perform and we throughly enjoyed watching an amazingly talented family.
