Branson Part two

Hello Kahunas, I have been a very busy monkey. I stayed at a camp in Branson Missouri for a whole week. It was a big party. We had a very big tent and Country Western, Cowboy singers came to sing for us. They let me sit on the stage with their instruments. There were lots of people in camp and one day a man went up in a big lift and took our pictures. When I get home, maybe I can show it to you. There were lots of motorhomes like Cmor there so I put Mickey Mouse magnets on him so I knew which one to go into. Did any of you ever go into the wrong classroom or house? One night a very famous group of singers called The Platters came to camp. They had very fancy clothes on. They all wanted to meet me and hold me so I let them. Their drummer let me play his drums. 

I went to a show called the Dixie Stampede. I could not take pictures inside. It was a big arena with tables all around where everyone sat for dinner. While we ate there was a big show in the middle with Bison, and horses and covered wagons and lots of horses and trick riders. There was a beautiful colorful eagle flying around and I found out it was really a girl dressed up. I wonder how she flew around. When I was walking around the town, I saw lots of other buildings where they had shows. One had a giant King Kong on A big building. That was the biggest monkey I ever saw. I saw a big ship called The Titanic. It was really a theater and museum that looked like a ship. It was kind of like the building was wearing a costume. 

When I left Branson I drove north on Highway 65 to Highway 60 and went to Mansfield to visit the home of one of my favorite authors. Her name was Laura Ingalls Wilder. I think some of you may have seen her books or even the TV shows called Little House on The Prairie. They are Children stories about pioneer life long ago. They were written in the Little Stone House and in The White Farmhouse. I went inside both houses and the museum. Her books are written in many different languages so children all over the world can read them. I got to sit in an Amish wagon. When I left there I drove East on Highway 60 and then I was in another State again. I was going to stay there but when I looked on a map, I discovered that I was near the Town of Metropolis. I had to cross another border and go to another state. This town is the home of one of my favorite Super Heros. He let me borrow his costume. How do you think I look? Don't I look big and strong? I found a statue of Lois Lane. She is his girl friend.   Then after I played there for awhile, I found an old fort. It is called Fort Massac. It is on the shore of The Ohio River. It was there to protect people. Inside was a uniform that American soldiers used to wear when George Washington was president. There was a boat there that the French people used and I sat in it for a little pretend ride.  My last thing that day was to cross the border again and visit the Jefferson Davis monument, just past Hopkinsville. It was very, very tall and looked like a giant pencil pointing into the sky. It has an elevator inside. Jefferson Davis was a president of our country when the North and South were divided. He was president of the Confederacy, which was the South. This is where he was born. It is only 100 miles from where Abraham Lincoln was born. He was President of the North and then the only president. It has been a long week for this little monkey so goodbye for now Kahunas. Love from Junior
