Vacation to Lake of the Ozarks

We went down to Lake of the Ozarks last week to visit my parents. With baby coming in August and a busy summer ahead, we decided to do an early vacation. The weather was actually really nice the first couple days and we were able to go in the water (although it was a little chilly!). The boys had a blast throwing rocks. The lake is still low so we were able to walk down the steps and out on the rocks.
Isaac also enjoyed fishing and liked helping Daddy and Grandpa reel in the fish. Dan and my dad caught quite a few fish, so we were able to have a fish fry twice while we were there. It was delicious!
On Friday night, Mom and Dad watched the boys so Dan and I could go out on a date. We went to a restaurant called Baxter's, which overlooked the lake. The food was delicious and the view was gorgeous. We drove around a little bit afterwards and had a nice evening with just the two of us.
We took quite a few walks while we were there and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It was good for me too to help me get in shape! On Saturday, it was cool weather but sunny so we went to Lake of the Ozarks State Park. It was great hiking weather. Isaac was a trooper and hiked the entire trail. Levi had a very bumpy ride in the stroller but managed to sleep most of the way. Dan had to take him over a bunch of rocks and trees so the stroller was definitely not ideal but it was better than carrying him. It will be nice when both of the boys can actually walk the whole way on their own :)
I had a nice Mother's Day. The boys slept in until after 7:30am, so that was a wonderful treat. Dan and Dad made a yummy breakfast for us and then we went for a nice walk. We stayed for lunch and had a fish fry then headed out. The drive back was long, as the boys decided not to take very good naps. We did stop at one of my favorite restaurants...Carlos O'Kelly's...so that was a special treat. We thought the longer stop would help break up the trip. The boys finally fell asleep around 9:30pm (which is 1&1/2 hours past their normal bedtime). Isaac kept telling us he wanted to get out. We finally arrived home at 10:30pm and were thankful to be done driving!!
