7/21/16: Thursday I finished up rounding things up for our trip over the weekend. Ben dropped the kids off while I was doing some laundry at the laundromat (the washer/dryer in my building do not work well). Got everything cleaned in just an hour and a half! We then grabbed Josh from work and came home.

7/22/16: Nomi and I ran a couple errands and grabbed some lunch for the family before we headed out. Josh got the oil changed in the car and then we were on the road to Golden, MO. Table Rock Lake weekend! When we got to town we checked and settled into our hotel room. grabbed a snack and then headed to Josh's grandparents' house. The kids met the grandparents, Josh's dad, and his aunt. We all then went and had a dip in Table Rock Lake, which was warm, before heading back to the hotel for dinner and bedtime.

7/23/16: After waking up we all got ready to head to Roaring River. We hiked up and down, got all sorts of sweaty. Changed into our swimsuits and walked down the river. The water was so much colder than the lake water. I caught a fish. Nomi and I both caught tadpoles. Brodie was swimming so well and had his goggles so he was able to see the fish underwater. We then went back to the hotel, cleaned up, ate, and then went to the grandparents again. The kids got into the lake with Josh's dad, Vince. We then went back to the hotel for dinner and bedtime.

7/24/16: Sunday we woke up early, washed up, loaded the car and went to the grandparents house one last time. One the way there Nomi was saying how she wanted to come back. We just hung out at the grandparents house before heading back home. We did stop in Cassville for lunch and then hit the road home. The kids slept on & off for a little bit. We asked the their favorite thing about the trip... "TABLE ROCK LAKE" :) They had a great time and we did too!
