Tan Tar A---Osage Beach

We returned from vacation a little over a week ago. It was a great time with John's family! The kids love spending time with their cousins from Colorado and Lincoln. The weather was not as warm as it usually is, and it rained a couple of days, but we still did A LOT of swimming and spent lots of time outside. The kids got to go on a boat cruise on Lake of the Ozarks, they also got to fish, play tennis, ride around the resort on golf carts (always fun, even for the adults), go on LONG walks, see horses, bowl (they have a small retro bowling alley on the resort), and of course, SWIM! Olivia, Ben, and Sam were good travelers, and they're already talking about next year!!
Olivia and Sam went on a walk with me one morning--early! Olivia took lots of pictures and posed for some, too. There are huge hills everywhere, and she never complained once about being tired. Sam slept the entire walk this particular morning---he usually got two walks in the morning--one with John at 6 A.M. and one with me @9 A.M. Olivia took the picture below (she wanted me to mention that).
Aunt Nancy has made the kids several tie dye clothes----she brought them with her this year. The bags were each decorated with their name and an animal. The girls got dresses and the boys got shorts and t-shirts. The kids and their ages (L-R) Benjamin-4; Nicholas-4; Evan-6; Jack-4; Julia-6; Andrea-turned 8 on our trip; Olivia-6; Sam-10 months
Ben was not happy about trying on his new clothes, but he managed to pose for one picture.
Sam did a lot of snoozing in the pool.
