Hays-Z Days: Ozarks with Grandma and Grandpa

We went down to the Ozarks to visit my parents the last week of June. The last 2 years we have gone was in May so it was cooler. We were hoping by going later in the summer, we would have warmer weather. Well, we got what we wanted!! It was over 100 degrees every day that week which was great for being in the water. We spent most days swimming, boating, or going on the wave runners. The boys became brave with their swimming and would jump off the dock. My parents' neighbors had their son and family down for the week too so we enjoyed getting to know them and their kids. Kale was 5 like Isaac and Sydney was 7. They were a lot of fun and encouraged our kids to be more daring. By the end of the week, Isaac and Levi jumped off the neighbors' 15 foot platform into the water! (I didn't get pictures but I did get video). Elise was pretty brave too and would put her head in the water. She wanted to go up the big platform too but we thought she better wait another year! The kids all had a blast!
