On Vacation :)

Well we left on Friday for a 8-9 day vacation on Table Rock Lake. I did not get "update blog" crossed off my to-do list before we left. I even had the post all typed, and just needed to cut and paste it in. Of course that post is on the home PC, so it will have to wait until we return.

We started our trip with a morning at the St. Louis Zoo. It was 89 degrees when we arrived there at 8:30 am. By 10:00 we started wilting and called it a day before noon. Despite the heat, we had a good time and enjoyed watching Kaden see "big" animals for the first time (that he can remember). The chimpanzee's had a big fight that brought even groundskeepers and zoo volunteers to watch. No monkeys were injured, but it was very noisy and fascinating to watch. Kaden declared that they needed a time out.

We then drove the rest of the way to our destination. It was still 96 degrees out at 9:00 pm when we went for some ice cream. We're planning to hang out at the pool and lazy river all day today.

As for the rest of the week, we're looking forward to seeing the musical Noah at the Sights and Sound theater. We're going to a water park. We are meeting up with several families adopting from Ethiopia through our same agency that live in the Branson area. We've got some boating planned. And the girls favorite - outlet mall shopping. Other than that we'll be relaxing, relaxing, relaxing.

I'll try to post pictures as the week progresses.
