Go Karts

Victoria took Cody and the dogs home and Vern, Chantel and the boys were able to go out and have a bit of fun.

Time to Go Home

Cleaning up the camp.

These are amazing pictures of Jared......

Relaxing in the Heat

It was pretty warm for our camping trip, so we tried to relax in the shade. We were blessed to be able to spend lots and lots of quality family time together.

Cody Sprains Her Ankle

Cody and Cyrus were trolling around the campgrounds taking pictures and having a wonderful time....that is until Cody jumped down from a picnic table and wrenched her right ankle.

Boy did she ever sprain it!

Not much gets Cody down, but when she goes down, she goes hard!

Luckily Mom RN was prepared and had the supplies to brace and wrap the ankle.

Some Ibuprofen, ice, elevation and a
lot of swelling later, here is what
it looked like when we got home.

Camping at Lake of the Ozarks

This is our campground at The Lake of the Ozarks.

Skipping Rocks on the Lake

Down from our camping site was a wonderful spot at the lake to skip rocks. It also seemed like a wonderful spot to fish.

Fishing started out well...see the wonderful logs to stand on!

We all took our poles, some worms and plunged them in.

In the midst of fishing, Jared caught Chantel's line on a floating log.

Chantel took the pole and reeled in the log.......and with the log came a snake...and NOT a little snake, a good sized snake...and not just any snake, but what looked like a Water Moccasin.

Chantel made the girl sound, jumped on the log and had to have
Vern and Cody help her back onto the bank.

Fishing was not that fun after that!
