Our Vacation

Jeremy and I rented a house in the Tan-Tar-A Resort at the Lake of the Ozarks and decided to invite his family along.  The house was great...three bedroom, three bath, private boat dock, etc.   We left on Friday at 1:00 and returned home on Tuesday at about 6:00pm.  We had so much fun!!! It was a little chaotic at times but still a good time!
We got there about 5:00pm on Friday and swam in the lake and ate food off the grill.  Saturday we tried out one of the pools, ate lots of food, and played in the lake some more.  Sunday we went to the main outdoor pool at the resort.  We swam, went down the waterslide, paddle boated, tried to rent a jet ski (they were all rented for the day=suckage), played, and ate.  That evening there was more food and fun at the lake.  Jeremy and I tried to go the strip together but our GPS freaked out on us.  We got there and could absolutely NO WHERE to park.  So we went and bought a few fireworks and headed back.  Tantara's fireworks were supposed to be that night but I think the storm made them cancel.
On Monday, Jeremy's family left.  We took the kids to do a bunch of stuff.  They went to the strip and shopped, laser tag, putt-putt golf, tried to go cart but most of the kids were too short, and ordered pizza.  I was sick to my stomach and puking but, it was probably the most relaxing day of all. The kids were all very good and mellow. I think Asher was out of sorts the first couple of days and once it all calmed down and it was just us there, he relaxed a bit.  Thank goodness!  I had almost decided to leave him there! lol!  He has a hard time when things are just thrown on him and is very used to his routine.  At one point I freaked out and lost my cool and ended up swearing at him in front of a bunch of strangers who probably thought that I was mom of the year for sure.  *BIG SIGH*  What do ya do?  Just go on I guess.  Anyway, Monday night Tan-Tar-A and the resort right across the lake from us both had their fireworks shows.  It was so awesome!!!! We had the best seat in town from out boat dock!  And no bugs too!  Tuesday we called and tried to stay another day because we hadn't gotten to do everything we wanted to and I was feeling sick.  But, they had another guest checking in Tuesday night so it was a no go.  So on Tuesday after we left the house we went to the outlet malls and Ozarkland and headed home. Anyway, I will post more once I steal some pictures from Trisha.  And have Jeremy load the few pictures that I have.
