Memorial Day Weekend - Part 2

May 23, 2014 (continued)

After the zoo we went back home, met Shawn, packed and headed to the cabin.  We arrived around 5 PM and Shawn mowed the lawn (with Aidan's help!) and Lauren and I unpacked and got the cabin ready.
 Daddy's helper!

After Shawn was done with the lawn, we were starving so went to the local restaurant, The Junction for dinner.

We were ready for dinner!

The next day we got up in the morning and packed everything up to head out for a day on the water at Mark Twain Lake.  We first stopped at the The Hootenany for breakfast.  Talk about a small town diner!  They were short handed, so the cook was also our server!  Breakfast was good though!





After we ate breakfast, we drove down to the marina.  Once there, we unloaded the car, took everything down to the marina, loaded everything on the boat, and then….the battery didn't work!  Oh the joys of owning a boat!  So we unloaded everything from the boat, loaded it back in the car and headed back to the cabin - packed up the cabin and headed home!

Once we got home, me and the kids decided we weren't going to waste the day, so we went to the neighborhood pool.

New shark raft

Lauren's new raft that she picket out.  The water was so cold, I can't believe they swam as long as they did!

Lauren went to sit in one of the lounger chairs and fell right through!  

And monkey see, monkey do!

Despite the boat fiasco, it was a great weekend!
