Branson/Silver Dollar City

We were blessed to be able to go to Branson with Bobby's Aunt Alta and Uncle Dave for almost a week before Thanksgiving. The Christmas lights were up and it was a special time as a family. Taylor's friend Emily was able to come and join us for part of the week and the girls had a great time!

Ryan, Bobby, Taylor and Alec ride Powder Keg. Alec was excited as this was the first year he road all the coasters!!

Olivia and Aunt Alta ride Powder Keg. They were coaster buddies since they both like the front and back seats!!

Ryan, Emily and Taylor caught with their hand in the candy jar! Their favorite place is the fugdge shop!

Schiedmantel Lodge Evening activities

The Bonfire and s'mores!!

Everyone enjoyed the huge marshmallows!

Well, maybe not Taylor! Big sis helped all the kids get their s'mores made! A little sticky goes a long way!!

Waiting patiently for Taylor to hook him up with graham crackers and a chocolate bar.

Now that's what I call a s'more!!

Alec trying to eat and roast another one!

After all that work, Taylor finally gets to make one for herself!

Dad and mom enjoy a little quiet time on the deck swing. What a beautiful morning it was!

Cheyanne rowing in against a stiff current. The wind really picked up the second day and Chey and Olivia really had a hard time rowing back to shore against the wind current. Olivia had to be rescued by the boys because she didn't weigh enough to get any umph behind her rowing. It was like watching someone row on a treadmill. . .rowing really fast but not going anywhere!!

Scheidmantel Lodge

Scheidmantel Lodge October 2010

We were blessed with a weekend with great friends and relaxing fun. This lodge is in Lenox, MO. The kids enjoyed the water, they canoed every second of daylight they had. Many races took place on the lake and a little fishing (I think a log was the biggest catch of the day!) Looking forward to next year!

This is a back view of the lodge.

Daddy's Birthday!

Daddy's Birthday!
Sept. 14th 2010

On Bobby's birthday this year he decided to throw himself a party! It happened to fall on a Tuesday night and he watches the pastor's 3 children and has Alec, Jack and Olivia home as well, every Tuesday. This one we also had a neighbor friend of Jack's and the twins. It was a houseful for a "Daddy Day-care" party! They all had a great time!

Let them eat cake!!! (and ice cream!!)
