wednesday we had breakfast at the hotel in cedar rapids then hit the road caravanning with matt & jodi and drove the 5 hours to lake of the ozarks in missouri. first we stopped in jefferson city and had a late lunch at big whiskey's which was a fun environment! it was so nice out; it got up to 76 degrees and humid. once we got to lake of the ozarks, we went to an overlook that was gorgeous and met another family from wisconsin there. at the airbnb we unloaded, toured the place, and we went out on the dock, the lake water was freezing! as the moms were unpacking and enjoying the deck, the dads took the big kids to get our groceries. we just enjoyed the deck, outside and the place for the night.
thursday morning was beautiful! i spent the morning on the deck trying to convince all the kids to come out too. then we got going because we new that morning was going to be our nicest weather until the day we left. we went to the state park and hiked 2.5 miles. then back to the airbnb for lunch. then we went mini golfing and that was fun! we stopped for ice cream on the way back. after a little bit of quiet time, the kids went in the hot tub right before it started to rain. we made tacos for supper and played some games all together.
friday was really rainy! we had a lazy morning at the house, hot tubbed, hung out, then went out for a "fancy" dinner that night right on the water. friday night the kids played switch and watched a movie.
saturday it was nice out again and our day to start our trek home. once packed up, we went a little bit south to Ha Ha Tonka state park where there are some castle ruins and hiked a little bit. then we drove to Burlington Iowa where our hotel was. we had a mexican dinner out then the kids went swimming for a bit before bed.
sunday morning trev woke up in the hotel and threw up. so we packed up and headed home while the risens stayed for a bit to go to an arcade. trev had a rough 6 hour drive home not feeling well but only puked once in the car and was a trooper. once home we unpacked, did laundry and just relaxed.
monday trev stayed home from school due to not eating much sunday and being tired/no energy. so tova and i ran to aldi and then went to jodi's at 11 to help with lunch and get the girls on the bus. it was really nice out so the kids rode their scooters for a bit after school.
tuesday was back to normal, Al work, trev school, tova and i went to jodi's then she went to school.
