Lake of the Ozarks

For the long weekend and Tyson's birthday, my mom gave us a vacation to Lake of the Ozarks (about 3 1/2 hours away from Kansas City) at their time share. It was AWESOME! Thanks mom!

My camera was just about dead and I couldn't find the charger...so here are a few pictures I was able to snap...

When we got there we ate at Steak n' Shake (which I love and is really cheap). Plus they gave Eden a Steak n' Shake hat and paper car. Eden played with it all night taking her snake and elephant for a ride.
It was WONDERFUL weather. So we went swimming.
Eden was VERY excited to swim.
This was the view from the time share. AMAZING. Right off the lake.
We also went on a short hike. Eden only liked it when she was carried...But it was beautiful and the leaves were all starting to change color and fall off the trees.
We also went to the beach. Although, it was really rocky and not a lot of fun to play in. But Eden loved it and cried when she had to leave.
We also spent a lot of time at the HUGE outlet mall there. It was a bitter sweet experience because we're poor med students. I could have spent LOTS of money there if I could have. :) But we did get a few things we needed (clothes for us and kids).

And of course, while at the condo we enjoyed having cable TV which we normally don't have. Tyson and I have an addiction to HGTV. I admit it.

Thanks again mom!

The only bad part about the vacation was coming home to 'real life' so soon.

Fun! You went hiking! Did you like it as you were hoping to?

I'm jealous of the vacation. One of these days we'll have to make it out your way and visit you.
