| Message: This past weekend we took a "small vacation" down to the Lake of the Ozarks. We called it a "small vacation" because it didn't take nearly as long to drive there as it did to get to Colorado for last year's family vacation! While we were there we visited Ha Ha Tonka State Park, in Camdenton. At the park we got to visit the ruins of the turn-of-the-century stone castle built by a wealthy businessman. The empty shell of this great mansion overlooks Ha Ha Tonka Spring and Lake of the Ozarks from atop a 250-foot bluff.      On the way back from visiting Ha Ha Tonka state park, we visited Thunder Mountain Conservation Area, and climbed up an 80 foot fire tower and overlooked the Lake and surrounding Ozark hills.      In the evening, when the temperature was cooler, we ventured out for ice cream and Go Karts! Emmett had never ridden go karts before, but they are dad's favorite night time activity on vacation! Here you see Emmett waiting (impatiently) in line for his turn.  Below you'll need to squint your eyes, and turn your head slightly to view the other Go Kart pictures, as they were taking at night, and in a fast-moving environment, and the camera blurred them a bit.   Where we stayed at the lake there is a private pool. This caught Emmett's attention right away, and he enjoyed swimming it!  Garrison had his very own floating ring, and he had a blast kicking his feet and swimming in the water too!    On the way back home, to break up the several hour car ride, we stopped at Meremac Spring Park and fed the fish.      |
