Gnorm does Branson!

Gnorm has “found his legs!” His backpack “home” has become a new appendage for me and, boy does he let me know if he’s not with us when we head out! Gnorm is becoming somewhat of a celebrity himself. He’s been going nuts looking for photo ops! Everyone he meets loves him and inquires about his “story.” I’m just going to let Gnorm’s photos tell this blog!

On the way to Branson, Gnorm drove us crazy. He wants to try everything! He had been "itching" to help us with the coach. (He was also pushing us to drive faster the closer we got to Branson.) He insisted on expiditing our fuel stop by "manning the pump!" He faded into the coach when I asked him to pay for the fuel!

Gnorm couldn't pass by this giant rocker!

Even though Andy Williams was a little "pressed" for time, he took the time to say hi!









The outdoor "forest" of Andy Williams' Moon River Theater was a must for Gnorm!








I didn't dare let Gnorm down on the grass, it was hot and the water just a bit too inviting for him! He didn't like that I held him... hmmmm, funny, he didn't mind being held by this young British "Titanic" "First Class Mate!"











This interesting piece of "art" (read, junk) was a must see for Gnorm! (You may have to hunt for him!)









Gnorm fell in love with these rubber tire "horses!"







Gnorm spied this wooden "hobby" horse in front of "Dicks 5&10." We got a couple of funny looks on this one!





Gnorm didn't want to tour "Historic Downtown" Branson from the inside of his backpack!






By now most of you have seen "Gnorm the Groupie" in his "celebrity" photo, so you can imagine how excited he is becoming as we travel westward. All the new sites and people Gnorm is meeting is unreal. Last night's thunder and lightening show didn't phase him one bit, he slept like a log! Gnorm is taking advantage of today's rain, he's "kicking back."
I guess, this just about says it all...
