We ended our 4 week whirlwind with a trip to Lake of the Ozarks with our lake buddies, the Harrises. We moms drove up early with all 6 kids and "set up camp". We even took all the kids out for an afternoon boat ride...I was quite proud of us for keeping everyone alive! The dads arrived later that night and the party began. The next day the kids had a blast swimming in the pool, jumping off the boat, rocking out to their VBS songs, and eventually riding the ski trainer and jet ski.
One of the days we went to a restaurant that was on a sandy beach; we ordered food and watched the kiddos swim and play in the sand. We all made a big sand castle with a moat around it, and we took turns burying kids and turning them into mermaids/mermen. I hung out in the shade as mush as I could because I fried my back the day before. At least I got the kids covered in sunscreen...
The evenings were fun as we ate good food and watched the kiddos run out every last ounce of crazy before bed. Bath time and getting them all in a bed was a long but entertaining process.
On our way home our family stopped at the highly advertised Redmon's Candy store. The kids weren't super happy that I made them take this picture (you can see it clearly on their faces!), but getting to pick out some candy made up for it.
Thanks, Harrises, for another amazing weekend at the lake! We had a blast and made such fun memories. We're so thankful for your family!
