Oh my goodness, what a fantastic weekend! Jeremy and I were able to get down to the Lake of the Ozarks to see my brother and his fiance, Joyce, for her 40th birthday! Sam had recently opened a new bar and grill right on "The Strip" in Osage Beach. It is right where we would rent jet skis at the Bagnell Dam. Prime location!! It's a really big, super nice place called Beavers at the Dam. They had an awesome band playing that night too! When we first got there, everyone was gone on the party bus. Sam also owns three party buses. So, we hung out for about an hour waiting for them to get back. It was so relaxing and the sun was setting, the band was warming up, and there was a breeze coming off the lake. We got to watch the parasailing thing too which I think we are going to do the next time we are there. When the party bus arrived, it was on! We danced the night away. We met a bunch of new people that were so friendly and fun! Happy birthday, Joyce!
We pushed about 5 or 6 tables together for the whole lot of us to hang out at. This is still pretty early in the night. Just after dark. We had some great food and the highlight for me was dancing with Jeremy to Purple Rain!!
Later in the night......everyone was taking a breather from dancing and these three fools....my brother, my nephew Andrew, Jeremy, and my niece Kaylee....started doing these hilarious dances!! LOVED it!! Andrew was cracking us up the whole night! We had a great time getting to know everyone and catching up with Sam and fam!
This is the view from the boat dock. I should have gotten a picture down here earlier. Funny story though. Jeremy and I walked down here to go get the picture by ourselves. There were a few boats still docked at this point (I think it was somewhere around midnight-ish). I snapped a few pictures and we started walking back up the dock. Then a guy came walking toward us and stopped us. He told us that my brother had sent him to check on us because we already had enough kids!! BAHahahaha!! Anyway, then we all took the green party bus back to Sam's house on the lake. Very nice. His boat dock is like double the size and has a ton of cool stuff. Pretty sure I could live there, no problem! :) Much nicer than the one we rented on the lake last year. We all decided to take a dip in the pool when we got back. So much fun! I lost a contact in the water and had weirdo vision the rest of the night though, haha! Finally we all went to bed.
We woke up the next morning and Sam offered to let us take the jet skis out. WOOT! He has 6 of them! Three were in the repair shop to get fixed. Jeremy and I took off one one that was freaking FAST. I was apprehensive at first because it was actually pretty choppy. There was some clouds and wind but still warm and perfect. We played for awhile but Sam had a flight to catch to Denver and we had to get home to rescue the Grandmas from the kids, lol!
Sam offered us his house or his condo for Jeremy's birthday weekend!! He said we could do all kinds of fun stuff! Jeremy was pretty stoked I think because we were both kind of OBSESSED with the jet skis by the time we were done. We want one bad!! Now, just to figure out who to take with us for the weekend. It was an exhausting weekend but such a good one! We both agreed we haven't had that much fun in a long time! August is almost here and the chaos will soon multiply! Agh!
Right when we got back we went to Jeremy's parents house for his brother's birthday dinner. We ate some good food (super yummy potatoes) and hung out for a bit. Cullen and Eden were whiny little buggers and my brain was fried. I did get a couple of bites of banana pie though!! mmmmmm, good. Happy Birthday, Tyson!
We came home. I didn't want the weekend to be over but, it was. Just happy it happened. Loved it all. :)
