Weekend in Pictures: Top of the Rock

This past weekend, our friends Adam and Amanda Brooker invited us to Top of the Rock to help celebrate Adam's birthday. John and I had never been there and were extremely impressed. It is a golf course with nature trails, cave, museum, waterfalls, and restaurants close to Branson in Ridgedale, MO. We did the golf card tour, bat bar, and dinner at Arnie's Barn. I highly recommend it. Here are the pics....

Camp Out!

Sawyer got to experience his first overnight camping trip last weekend for Memorial Day.
We met the Johnson's at Nemo Landing at Pomme de Terre where they camp every year with their family and some family friends. They have it down to a science with a cool little set up and awesome camp fire meals. It was Megan's birthday weekend too, so we celebrating that as well. We borrowed our friend Nick's pop-up camper because sleeping in a tent at 8 months pregnant didn't sound too enjoyable. Sawyer loved the pop-up! We luckily had great weather Friday and Saturday but it stormed Saturday night into Sunday morning. That didn't stop Sawyer from having a blast though. Him and Elliot had a hay day in the rain, splashing in puddles and playing in the water table. This trip was also the first time he experiences s'mores, a new favorite.  He was so pooped he fell asleep Saturday night at 7:30 PM and slept until the morning and when we got back he took a 4-hour nap! He is already asking when we get to go camping again!
