July 30th (Home/Breakfast/Church @ Home/Fruit Salad)

I made a big breakfast for dinner!! Yummy!!

There was one more weekend of At the Movies for Church, so we decided to watch from home!

Not the same, but it was nice to not miss it.

I am obsessed with making fruit salad lately, so yummy and refreshing!

 

July 29th (Day 2 Lake: Tired/Wave Runners/Cooking Lunch/Coving Out/Going Home)

Well we all didn't sleep well in our room. 

Adelyn was above us in the bunk bed and kept moving around. Then Nick kept snoring and waking up Ella, who then woke me up. And Nick and I were in a full size under bunk bed, not ideal. So I didn't sleep well at all. Right when we woke up I decided we would go home tonight!!

The boys that came down aren't acting the best anymore either. So not wanting to deal with them anymore either. Plus we were going to leave early in the morning anyways.

After breakfast that Scott and I made. We headed down to the dock to hang out and go on wave runners.

Michelle is the best person. Love our friendship.

Her and Scott are so awesome with Ella.

Michelle's son, fishing.

My favorite view here!

Ella going with Daddy! She was so excited and only wanted to go with him.

Scott taking his girls.

Now she is driving, say what!

Adelyn's turn!

Precious Bella!

Here they come again!

And then she went with Scott, haha.

We made an amazing lunch since we didn't use it for dinner. Burgers, hot dogs and cheesy potatoes I made!! Yummy Yummy! We wanted everyone to eat before we went on boat. So kids weren't hungry!

Then we left on the boat to go cove out! Wahoo.

Having fun!

Water time.

I think the adults like to cove out more than the kids. We all swam around but adults talk more. Lol. We then almost ran into another boat because the anchor wouldn't stay in place and we kept drifting. Oh well we got it handled. After a few hours out on the boat we headed back.

These 2 holding hands...too cute!

We headed back to the house. Took showers. I made taco, nacho dinner for everyone.

After dinner we loaded up the car and I drove us home. 

Nick was really tired and fell asleep along with Ella!

Adelyn watched Harry Potter while I got us home around 10:30 pm.

Ugh I am exhausted but glad to be sleeping in my own bed!!

 

July 28th (Lake of the Ozarks Day 1-Dock Swimming/Boating/The Cave/Tubing)

Here we go ready or not to the lake a smidge after 8:30! We made a stop at a grocery store because I forgot the onion dip I made and prepped hamburger meat. Oops, well we got a few more things to munch on since their were going to be 4 more people. We got there and only Lynette was home. Everyone else was on the boat. So they got back about 30 mins after we got there. Then we headed back down to the lake to hang out while we waited to go back on the boat.

I grew up at the lake. Lake of the Ozarks and Beaver Lake, so I was a lake kid since I was 6 months old. My kids not so much. Adelyn thought water was dirty and wasn't excited about getting in. Ella hadn't eaten much so kind of out of it. 

Maria and Michelle. Maria is the extra guest who I met last year and she was kind of weird. But she was nice and polite when we met today. Just SUPER quiet!!

Nick got in which got the girls in for a little bit.

I got in as well but they wouldn't join me?

Scott and Nick catching up.

Michelle's son, Maverick.

Jeff checking the boat motor in the water. 

Ella had to come see him.

Oh and the tub they are on, the handles broke off so Lynette with Addison went to go get a new one in town.

Wave runner time while we wait for Lynette to get back to go back on the boat to Tub.

Scott is so sweet and took Ella so slowly on the wave runner around the cove area.

Love her!

I am getting in again, wanted to get a pic of Ella's first time on a wave runner.

Me and Michelle enjoying the cool water. It is HOT outside! This is what we usually do on neighbors weekend. We come to the lake and go directly to the dock to swim and hang out. Then go for a boat ride. My kids weren't understanding the concept. I think coming during Neighbors weekend is WAY easier and enjoyable! Ha.

Scott taking Maveric.

Ella's turn, she was sooo excited!

Nick taking Adelyn.

He just took her around slowly in the cove.

Nick and Addie left the area and went fast. Both their first times on a wave runner!

They look happy.

Trying to splash each other.

Doesn't the green water look so inviting!! Yuck!

My pretty almost 9th grader. 

My kids aren't lake kids like me. Even though my parents have a lake house, they just aren't put together enough for us to go down and go on the actual lake. 

Luckily the Lyon's are like 2nd parents and are the most accommodating.

Love this girl the most!!

Ruby was being crazy getting so close to the water watching the fish, but she can't swim very well so she never gets in.

Bella, Michelle and Scotts dog.

Finally we get to go on the boat!!

Usually I don't care when we come for neighbors weekend because it is nice to just relax wherever but with kids they want to be on the move.

Lynette was so nice to go buy a new tube since the other one's handles broke off. It was old though.

Scott driving us.

Ella Bella loves the BOAT!!

Addie and her Daddy.

We headed to the cave to eat.

Michelle and Scotts rode the way there on the tube.

We made it and my family is Hangry!! And Ella hasn't barely eaten anything all day!! She is looking out of it from the heat and not enough water. The cave is pretty neat, and cool inside the cool but loud in there.

We didn't eat inside the cave but in the shade. Ella ate some tomato, mozzarella and basil. And we got her to drink some pina colada to get a little sugar in her. She pepped up! Time to go for a ride and to take Michelle home since she hurt her back.

Michelle, Scott and Maria.

Scott!!!

The sky is so pretty.

Her happy place for sure!! Just like her mama.

Time to take these kids tubing.

Girls get to go first! Alex, Addison and Adelyn.

Going out of the wake.

Having fun.

Adelyn got thrown off a few times. Ha.

Caught Scott making an amazing face! Ha.

3 of the 4 boys going.

The boys went for awhile too. 

Adelyn fell off again. Lol.

Then boys got another turn.

So beautiful out!

Then the girls got to go all the way back to the dock since they lost a bet with Scott! Ha.

We headed back to the dock and house. 

We ate snacks since we ate late! Then had some yummy treats.

We all took showers. And my girls stayed upstairs to rest in our room. Then they went to bed before the other kids because of being tired from the sun!

The adults hung out for a while and talked. Then I headed to bed around 10 pm to go to bed around 11. 

Nick and Scott stayed up till 1 or so drinking and cracking jokes. They left with Jeff, went on boat to go to a bar but they were all closed...hahha. The other kids stayed up till 12 or 1 am!!
