Lake of the Ozarks: 2021

 July 1-7.  Lake of the Ozarks.  Celebrating Dad and Mom's 50th wedding anniversary!

What a beautiful spot!  The weather for the week was absolutely perfect!

We took our boat and spent many hours going for boat rides, tubing, and zup boarding.

There were plenty of floaties to go around and everyone spent countless hours swimming.

Mason could often be found fishing on the dock.

We took turns making supper for the whole group.  Yum!

The high diving platform was thrilling and nerve wracking at the same time!  Most people tried it at least once.

Professional picture time!  It was definitely an answer to prayer that we could ALL be together.

Dad and Mom surprised us and made memory books for each child and grandchild!  Dad also gave each grandchild a 1971 Eisenhower silver dollar to remember the year they were married.

So many stories!

Sunset cruise with the adults!

Our Sunday morning service was in the living room.  Eden led singing.  Brian gave a message.  We shared memories of growing up.  It was a true blessing.

The dock was huge.  The perfect gathering spot.

And the perfect spot for a nap!

Some of our group explored at Bridal Cave.

Happy 4th of July!

It was exciting to watch fireworks over the water and watch the kids play with glowsticks!  

Taking turns attempting to do a 360 on the zup board.

Water balloon time!

On our last day many of us watched the show Jesus at the Sight and Sound Theater in Branson.  It was powerful to see the story of Jesus life acted out in front of us.  What a great God we serve.

Family is such a blessing.  So many wonderful memories made.  Great is thy faithfulness!
