Vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks

My mom's family and her husband, Tom's, family all went on vacation for a week to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. We stayed in a really big house right on the lake and rented a boat for 4 days. Cal was in heaven, swimming every day and getting loads of attention from everyone. Isaac had fun, too, but when we got home and put him in his own bed he started squealing with delight, turning in circles and hugging the bumper pads.

Those who were there:
Sally (my mom) and Tom (her husband)
My brother, Jason
My sister, Becky, and her girlfriend, Cheryl
Richard (Tom's son) and his wife, Kari
Scott (Tom's son)
Eric, Me, Cal and Ike

Me, wakeboarding.




Eric was really close to running over Richard once and Becky got nervous every time we were within 8 feet of her. She got up on the wakeboard, though!

Jason was the master breakfast chef every morning (I had the honor of helping).

It took my sister a bunch of tries to get Isaac crawling. He kept speed crawling right toward the camera and grabbing it.

He wasn't too fond of this life jacket.

Jason and Calvin relaxing.

Calvin was a psycho water boy. He would throw the noodle and then jump. Sometimes he would jump in and there wouldn't be anyone nearby to catch him. He would just start swimming back to the ladder to do it again. He was a serious maniac.

This is his best smile for Aunt Becky.

Cheryl and the man-down flag

Eric, the captain and Crazy Tom.

Here's my man doing a sweet mad jump.
