Weekend at the Lake - Lake of the Ozarks

After our successful vacation with friends down to Florida last year, we wanted to go again. This year, due to all the summer sports schedules, we found a weekend to head down to Lake of the Ozarks for a few days on the lake. We have friends, the VanderWells, that have a lake house down there that we rented for the weekend. We packed up and headed down!

The kids had a blast playing off the dock, in the water and on paddle boats!

Pirates, attacking with squirt guns!

Brandt on the inflatable jet ski!

Lots of fun on the big blue mat

Thumbs up for this guy

Out for a spin

We were having so much fun, we didn't even care that it started raining!

Captain Ron's is walking distance away, so the last night we headed there for some pizza

and found another pirate!

We forgot to take a group picture but the Vocelka's, Pine's and Comfort's had a great weekend together playing at the lake!

Adventureland

Foster Group closed the office on Friday and took all their employees and families to Adventureland for a day of thrills and spills! The sun was shining and there were rides to be ridden...let's go!

We found Bernie Bernard, the official mascot of Adventureland

He is a friendly St. Benard

Family photo with Bernie!

One of our favorite rides, The Galleon

It's a big ship that swings back and forth for an exciting ride on the high seas!

It brings lots of butterflies...

and smiles!

Parachutes were next!

Get dizzy on the hot air balloons!

These three!

Flying planes!

We had a great day at Adventureland and I think it is super cool that Foster Group closes the office and makes time for families to spend a day together making great memories!

Trigg had a great teacher for 4th grade, Mrs. Stumm!
