Lake of the Ozarks

We were gone AGAIN this past week to Lake of the Ozarks.  Scott was speaking at a meeting there for one his customers and they graciously invited our entire brood to tag along.  We went on Sunday after Drew's last baseball tournament.  I didn't take many pictures with the real camera, I mainly used my phone.  We had a fun time.  We didn't see Scott hardly at all, but we had fun being at such a nice resort.  

Boys checking out "their" room....they were slightly excited about having their own space.  They had a room, we had a family room and kitchen and then a Master bedroom.  It was lovely.

Traveling and eating out is Tommy's gig...notice he already has ESPN turned on in the background of their room.

Max relaxing in the family room...

We mainly played in this lower pool. NO ONE else used it, it was like our private pool.  Note the Parrot Bar at the top of the hill.  :)  

..and our pool had this little shade grotto thing where Max napped every afternoon in his stroller.

It was SO hot and the curls and surfer tee made me melt

..and the tan bigger surfer boy whose hair gets blonder as the summer goes on

...another afternoon in our private pool

Our last night we went out to dinner at Baxters which had a 7 mile view of the lake...it was beautiful and the food was delicious.  A perfect spot.

Then we went to a go-carting place...Max loved the Merry Go Round

..and this go cart

Jack's first time driving his own cart with the big boys...

...he kept up just fine.  

Ended the evening with a little 10 cent Skee Ball games.  Hot and muggy but so much fun.

Enroute home we had 3 of the 4 boys crashed out.  It was a busy week with lots of fun memories.

It was fun to see the Lake of the Ozarks area...we have heard about it a lot.  And we are so grateful for a company trip, it was a gift.    But personally, I will stick with Northern Minnesota and their lakes.
