Lake Week 2009

Oh, what fun we had at the Lake of the Ozarks this year. Ellie was only with us for the first 3 1/2 days then we made a quick trip back to St. Louis so she could hop on a plane to head out to Phoenix with Gran and Papi. So we had to make the most of the few days she was with us.
We headed back to Miner Mike's with her cousins since we had such a good time there last year. Emma, one of the older cousins, came with us and was such a big help in playing the games with the kids and riding the rides with them. Here Ellie, Kameron, and Emma are riding on the motorized horses (the same that would be in any grocery store, but are some how much more fun when you're on vacation).

Max just hung out in his stroller while the older kids played. He either snoozed or smiled the whole time...such a low maintenance kid.

Ellie and Jason enjoyed playing in the balls. Our little peanut, Ellie, was a wee bit too small to move very easily, and on more than one occasion we heard, "Help. I'm stuck in the balls," when she would climb into a ball pit in order to get to the next climbing area or slide area but wouldn't be able to make it through by herself.
