VACATION!

We've been talking about it for months and now our vacation week has come and gone so quickly! We had a great time spending the week with Scott's family at the Lake of the Ozarks. Saturday evening the boys got right down to business and caught some fish and that trend continued throughout the first half of the week. Many days were spent swimming, fishing, and playing with cousins. We had a special day of mini golf with Uncle Matt, Aunt Jen, Cole and Mya. And there was even a treasure hunt. Cole found an old bottle that had washed ashore with a treasure map inside and the 4 kids (along with 2 more "big kids") went on a hunt. They found quarters and dimes marked with red x's and then a big X with four treasure boxes under it. They had so much fun and Luke walked around all day saying Yo Ho Ho, Mateys! After relaxing by the lake we ended our vacation at Busch Stadium where I surprised Scott by having his entire immediate family meet us at the game. There were 11 of us in all and it was a great time. Thanks, Jen and Matt for helping me get it all together. All in all it was a great week. It was mostly wonderful due to my live in nanny who spend almost two weeks with her two nephews. WE LOVE YOU AUNT LYDIA! Thanks for putting up with us. You truly made it a great trip!
