Family Vacation 2011

We just got back this week from spending a week at Big Cedar Lodge with Patrick's family. They have been going there since 1990. I joined in the year we got married. I absolutely love going there, and hate to leave when it is time to go. It is such a relaxing and beautiful place. It is right outside of Branson, MO, and it right on Table Rock Lake.

The third day we were there we rented a pontoon boat, and went out on the lake. We do this every year, and it is one of my favorite things to do there. We usually ride around first, and then pick a spot to tie up to so we go swimming. This year my mother in law bought some floats so we just hung out in those. It was so relaxing, but they always say you can have too much of a good thing. My sunscreen wore off and my back got burned. It was worth it because the water felt so good!

The next day we tried out a new activity they have at their nature park Dogwood Canyon. We went on an atv ride through the park. It was so much fun! They just started it this year, and they created their own trail for it. We got a little dusty, but it was so worth it! We stopped at this really pretty place that had a huge hanging rock and a stream for pictures. Then on the way back the guide took our pictures when we splashed through a stream.





Throughout the week we also went on a garden tour, and my MIL and I even went to Zumba one morning! Saturday afternoon my MIL, her mom, and I went to the Sights and Sounds theater to see Noah. It is an awesome show! The ark is around you on three sides and you feel like you are on it. The use real and animatronic animals, and the acting was great! The show has been there for three years, and this is the last year. I am so glad we took the chance to go.
