Tubing, Cliff Jumping & Soaking Up The Sun

 

August & September

Lots of catching up to do!  So here are all the pictures jumbled up together. The kids at Big Cedar. They love the lazy river.

Gus and Grandpa modeling their glasses.

Uncle Tommy & Aunt Jena were in town over Labor Day.  There was a big cycling race in Benton Park. They are waiting patiently for it to start.

So are they.

Quick trip to Arrowrock.  

Branson Fun!

Another successful trip to Big Cedar  happened last week. We all had so much fun.  Amber posted lots of lake pictures but she isn't included in any of them so here's one of her and some baby geese.  

Bumper cars were a big hit.

This is a terrible, terrible ride.  You go around and around and get dizzy and feel like you are going to throw up.  I went on it twice and said, "Enough!" Catherine, Mary, Amber & Edie are in this shot. The girls would have done this all day if we would have let them.

Everyone needs a rootbeer float break!

This was fun to watch.  Glad I wasn't on it getting soaked!

Big Cedar 2017

Big Cedar!  

What a fun place to take the family.  Especially when the weather cooperates!

We all enjoyed the lazy river.  It's my favorite.

Kayaking was lots of fun.

This was the last smile from Gus on the go-karts.  He was not a fan.

Everyone always has a good time eating ice cream!

This is our first time playing shuffleboard at Big Cedar.  I'm sure Catherine will make sure it's not our last.

Another first was fishing

and bumper cars!

Amber spends a lot of time catching the smaller ones as they come down the slide.

Of course we had to putt putt.  It's a giant fish after all!

Mary's 8th Birthday

Steve & I took the girls to Big Cedar to celebrate Mary's 8th birthday.  We had a ton of fun!  All you have to do is look at Marys face to see the joy!

 A lot of time was spent swimming.

They say smoke follows beauty!

It's hard to see (Iphone pictures) but that is Catherine kayaking.  She went out by herself and did a great job.

A little paddle boating.

Swimming in the lake and hanging out on the lily pad.

We went on a cruise on the Showboat Branson Belle for the Princess and Pirates Cruise.

The girls loved getting their pictures taken with the Princesses.  Mary is wearing a dress that Heather wore in our wedding almost 39 years ago!

Catherine is wearing a dress my mom brought home from Hawaii more than 40 years ago.
