Beginning of Summer Part 2

Okay, so Part 2...We made the drive from the ranch to Branson. Grandpa was sick and their tire blew on the truck on Highway 65. Our three car caravan pulled over. Rolf, Shelley and Erick stayed to deal with that and Marisa and I and the kids drove on to Big Cedar Lodge. It was quite eventful when we got there, unloaded and went to dinner but I will spare you the details. Just one tip: If you are unloading the car and the kids are helping, make sure one of them doesn't shut the door unless you have keys to get back into your cabin. Or a phone to call someone to help. Fun stuff. :)
We are so thankful to Rolf and Shelley for treating us to this trip! We had so much fun!

All I wanted...

was for all four kids...

to look at the camera and smile.

 

Nothin' better than running through the water with your clothes on!
