Lake of the Ozarks

The day after Olivia's birthday we drove down to Lake of the Ozarks to stay for a few days. We went with Angela, Tyler and Millie, my mom, and Tyler's parents. The house we stayed in is one that Angela and Tyler stay in each summer when they go there for his work. They had access to it and asked if we would like to go. It's not far from where we stay in Osage Beach. It was wonderful having a kitchen, so we ate some great food--mostly prepared by Tyler and his dad.

Once again, Olivia and Ben were excited for vacation. Olivia got some binoculars from her grandpa for her birthday and luckily we found the old ones we had at our house, so both kids had a pair for the trip. They used them A LOT!

Sam is a great traveler. . . . . he sleeps well in the car! Olivia wanted me to give her credit for taking this picture.
We sat outside a couple of nights around the fire pit and made S'mores. . . . .the weather was great!
Our pool overlooked the lake, so it was a beautiful view. The kids spent most of their time in the pool.
There were lots of games around the house. Olivia was trying to organize a game of Cadoo, but Ben was only interested in wearing the glasses and Sam just wanted to eat the box. I should add that their cousin Amelia was there, but being only two months old-----she just did a lot of sleeping and eating:-)
