Our trip to the Lake of the Ozarks

Well we just went to the lake this past week, it is located in Missouri. We had a great time- however two of my girls had croup one at the beginning of the week and the other at the end, Todd also got an ear infection, aside from that is was very relaxing. We stayed at the resort my grandfather built called Tan-Tar-A- here is a quick shot of the sign from the main road. My Uncle and Aunt were so very kind and let us use their wave runners, boat, kayaks oh and swim everyday at their house!! Thank you!! Here is Todd and Emme-she really liked going out on the wave runners.

Here is Aunt Becky with Ally and their cousin Nicole. Aunt Becky took everyone for rides on the kayak- they were really cool kayaks because as you can see you peddle them. We went out together a few times, man did my legs hurt!!!
Here is the wake boarding boat they took out. My brother Jeff took some great pictures on the boat while they were out, this was the day Ally could not go in the water b/c she had a fever and the nasty cough, so we hung out inside and occasionally took pictures of the kiddos outside.

Here is the view from the house we stayed at, it was so pretty!!

Another shot...
And another shot...


This was a big deal- Emme jumping off the dock- and later she jumped off the diving board. She was pretty scared at first, but she did it!!

Ally crashed on her daddy- she actually had fallen asleep on me in this raft chair out in the water and we did a transfer and she just kept sleeping on Todd- so sweet!!



Ally, Emme and Todd swimming in the water. It looks like it is foggy- that is b/c my camera was in the a/c and coming outside it completely fogged up- it was a very hot week!!!

Kylie and Emme swimming in the lake.
Safety patrol Ally- she is still too little to hold herself up with just the life jacket so we put floaties on too-and she did great!
