TABLE ROCK LAKE-2013

We had our family get together this year at Table Rock Lake in Branson, Mo.  I think everyone had a good time.  I know the kids did.  They sure enjoy being together, especially the little girls.


We saw this deer a few doors down after we first arrived at the condo.  It was not afraid of us. Every time we would leave the condo, we would see deer, lots of deer.

After we all met at the condo, we all went into Branson to a Mexican restaurant to eat.

Abby and Karlie were playing a game at the Mexican restaurant and Karlie won, so she is happy.  Karlie loves to win.

After we came back from eating Mexican food,  we celebrated Carter's birthday with him.
We had brownies instead of cupcakes because Carter doesn't like cupcakes.

They started out the first night sleeping like this, but it didn't last long.

The next morning at the condo pool.  We had it all to ourselves.  Karlie is an expert at filling up this with water and squirting water on others.  Doesn't she look like she is enjoying it.

I think Carter sometimes gets annoyed with the little girls.  But, they all get along really good.

Squirting her Aunt Tracy and having lots of fun doing it.

After their swim, we all went into Branson so they could ride the rides.

 Carter's favorite thing to do is to ride the go-carts.  He rode them over and over.  Abby rode them once with her mommy and she had fun also.

After we got back to the condo that night Tracy cooked spaghetti for everyone.  Everyone was really hungry, especially the little girls.  Notice Karlie eats a salad.

The next day everyone, except me, went to the beach.  It was called "Moonshine Beach."  Everyone came home tired and hungry.   We all showered and then went to the Floating Cafe which was close to our condo.  I think the kids enjoyed that as much as anything they did.  The food was really good also.  Sorry, didn't get any pictures of the restaurant.

Karlie not happy.

Looks like Karlie decided she wanted Abby off.

 We always go to Uptown Cafe the last day as we are leaving to go home.  They now have someone that sings and plays the guitar.  The kids were pretty fascinated with that.

We always get a picture in front of this car which is parked out front.
