Following last year's lead, we took our annual family vacation down at Lake of the Ozarks, again boarding with the Schneidermeyer's at a lake house owned by a friend of Melissa's. There really isn't a better way to spend a week with your family than laying by a body of water, debating which drink and chip you'd like to eat next.
It was a bit different for me this year, only because I wasn't choosing between Miller Chill or a Margarita on the rocks with salt. Oh well. We had a blast, nonetheless, and a week away from home without a hectic schedule or a list of to-dos is the best way to enjoy your family!
Some highlights....

Our trip was not without incident - Trey changing a tire on our van for the first time ever!
But he's awfully cute, even under duress!

Unfortunately, spending a week in the Ozarks meant we missed my big Lee family reunion in Portland, Oregon. However, it really wasn't much of a choice when we looked at the finances of sending the entire family out West for a week versus driving two hours away and spending a week in a house for free! Good, Cheap Fun - that's what we got at the Lake, and we loved every moment of it!
Andy & Melissa - same time, same place next year?
