We have some amazing friends here in OK and are super blessed to be able to go on fantastic trips with them. We always have a ton of fun and come away with so many great memories...we are so blessed to have them in our lives!!! This was another trip to our favorite place...Branson MO. So much to do there and even though the green and leaves had not come in yet its just so beautiful! Relaxing, fun, friends, Jake's birthday...does not get better than that!
Our view from our room
Our kids get along so well and always find some sort of fun
AJ zooming down the slide
Jake on the chase :)
Sometimes you just need to sit and take it all in :)
Me and my Jakey Bear :D
The view from the front of our room, so close to the playground...heaven for the kids
The boys relaxing and playing a game
Loved having this big patio to hang out on
Ryan and I even got a date night!!!
Now I am not a huge foodie that takes pictures of my food but this is our favorite place to eat when we are at Big Cedar. Their food is absolutely amazing!!!! This was the best cornbread I have ever had in my life!!! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. And yes those are huge hunks of bacon that you see on top. :D
These are the pulled pork nachos which are epic! Just ask my parents who after trying them a year and a half ago still talk about them :)
There is this short little hike which we always love to take with the kids. Easy but fun to just get out there.
The Browns on the hike!
Boys being boys and charging ahead
The kids and their walking sticks
This trip we all wanted to enjoy the lake and the little beach they have there. This was a picture I took of Jake which made me realize how much he had grown up!!
AJ LOVED the beach. He always loves to play in the sand.
Jake and his best buddy Grant braving the cold water and having a blast
AJ occasionally left the sand to swim a bit
Jake was super excited to paddle boat on the lake with our friends
Look out...the boys are driving!
I love this covered bridge and it was fun to see it from the water
Me and my little Squidly
Pool time!!! How awesome is it that you can see the lake behind us.
The kids always want to spend some time at the indoor pool as well...its all about the water slide :)
And of course we always have to play mini golf with the big fish!
Group pic to prove the adults were there too! :D Our dear friends
Beautiful sunset view from our room
Love my family!
Jake's Birthday! This little man is super lucky that his birthday hits on Spring Break and so we are often vacationing somewhere fun for it. Luckily since MO is close we can drive and bring his presents with us.
The big gift that he really wanted
Gotta have time to play with his new toys
He had a lot of fun...but still had a full day of activities ahead of us. We did all the things he wanted :)
Swimming
Going to Steak and Shake for lunch...yes milkshakes were a must!
Brother time in matching green shirts...for St Patty's day of course
Some mini golf for AJ so Jake had some alone time with his new toys :)
Playing on the great playground
Basket swing
Scooter riding on the great hill
Jake was getting serious
And of course a great chocolate Birthday Cake
Gotta get all 7 candles! Jake had a fantastic birthday and was a very happy boy! Love him so much and so fun to be able to spend this special day with him! Such an amazing, sweet, kind, funny and cute little guy!
I had to get a picture of this before we left. On the last day of school before Spring Break AJ had to bring his nap mat home. He looked at me and said that he wanted to bring it on our trip so he could sleep on it. And he actually did...the whole time!!! Just loved it. LOL Love my crazy little boy.
It was such a fantastic trip and we all had a great time!
