Lake Trip With Friends

Amy's dad was so generous to give up his house at the Lake of the Ozarks so we could all take our kids down for a few days! We caravaned down and the kids enjoyed a snack while we got everything settled. We had dinner and then went out for ice cream. We had a rough time getting the kids to sleep that night. They were pretty excited to be having a big slumber party! The next day we headed to Big Surf waterpark. The kids had an absoulte blast at that place. The little kid area was perfect for letting them play in the water, ride on the seesaw and rocking animals, go down the slide and just have fun! We ventured into the wave pool as well and Delaney loved going out into the waves! Much different than when she visited the beach back in March! She swam all over the wave pool with her life jacket on and even showed Gavin how to swim in the wave pool! That night we had some very tired kiddos... so we ordered pizza and started getting them ready for bed early! They went to bed much easier the 2nd night! We enjoyed some girl time out on the porch with snacks and chocolate martinis... well they made me a chocolate milk in a martini glass! All in all a great trip and we look forward to going again! Although we have talked about going without the kids sometime too!
