Another Fun Vacation with the Elricks & the Calverts

This year marked our second trip to the Ozarks with my two best friends and their families. I think it was even better than last year! We had a weekend jam-packed with fun stuff including shopping for ladies, fishing for the guys, a water park, and Miner Mike's. The kids had a great time together and kept us on our toes all weekend. I had a hard time choosing a few pictures so get ready for a picture overload!

Just a boy fishing with his daddy.

Good buds, Logan and Owie


Dusty, Logan, Jack, and Ted

Owen and his beloved "Cars" fishing pole. He keeps telling people that he caught a worm. ;)

Molly, Chelle, and Logan being silly with his underwear on his head

Rub-a-Dub-Dub! Owen, Logan, and Madeline splish splashin'!

We managed to get a few more pictures of the adults this year as all we had last year were pics of the kids! Of course, Logan was in this one because he likes to stay up late with the grown-ups!


Molly and Ted relaxing.

The beautiful sunrise on the lake. The boys rented a pontoon boat to fish and headed out around 6am on Sunday morning.

Teddy and his fish. Or is that his bait? hee hee!

Dusty's fish next to the cooler to show you exactly how big it was. :)

The city boy with his first fish! That's right, my hubby had never been fishing before so he was determined to go this time around. I think Dusty got a kick out of "teaching" Cody how to fish.


When the guys got back, the older boys and Maddy got to go on the boat with the Mommies. Thanks to Uncle Ted for sticking behind with the younger napping boys.

Logan driving the boat.

Owen's turn!


And don't forget Jack-Jack!

A rare pic of Owen and Mommy.


Cameron hanging out in his stroller at the water park. He HATED the water. It also didn't help that he started cutting his first tooth while we were gone so he was a little crabby! But he did pretty well overall.

The happy boy in his stroller at Miner Mike's. Contrary to what the pictures seem to show, we did take him out of the stroller a few times over the weekend. :)

Cody, Owen, and Logan riding the bumper cars. As you can see, Owen couldn't drive so Cody had to hitch a ride and help him.

Maddy loved this car. Notice her pigtails--every morning her mommy would do them for her and then she'd come to us and say, "Look!" and just stand there until you told her how cute they were. Definitely a woman in training! :)

Jack claiming his loot.
Owen making Mason smile. He is such a little cutie!


Owen shows off all his tickets!

"Choo-choo!!!!"

We were sad to see the weekend come to end but I think maybe all the parents needed a vacation from our vacation! Can't wait for next year!
