Vacation Cont. The Treasure Hunt 2009

Vacation just would not have been the sam e this year if we did not have our second annual Treasure Hunt. The pirates just did not learn last year that their treasure was not going to be safe buried at Mallard Point Resort... especially with Pirates, Cole, Mya, and this year Luke and Ben. This year the pirates buried 4 treasure chests that was perfect each Pirate had their very own treasure. Wonder if the pirates are already thinking of a new place to hide their treasure. Here are some photos...

Cole thinks he sees something

Look a bottle

It is a treasure map.
Going to get their Pirate gear.

Vacation Lake of the Ozarks 2009

Here it is October and I am just now posting about our July vacation... I took tons of pictures so this post might be several long.

Vacation was great this year. It was Luke and Ben's first vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks with us. We hung out enjoyed each others company. There was a little swimming but the weather was not typical July so the water was a little cold. We spent some time in the hot tub, shopping, and the guys fished. We Already looking forward to next year. Hopefully Stacy, Mark, Sam and Sophia will be able to make it.
