Big Cedar Lodge

The family went to Big Cedar Lodge for a "Summer has FINALLY Begun" celebration. The lodge was beautiful. We spent all of our time at one of the many pools around the lodge, shopping in Branson, or participating in come of the activities they provided. We made s'mores at a bonfire (bandfire as Abi called it), went fishing, and walked around to see the beautiful views of the lake. It was a wonderful way to begin our summer together.

The "Crazy River" (Lazy River). Emily couldn't quite get the name right, but loved floating around and around.

Gone Fishin'

The girls went fishing for the first time on our trip to Big Cedar Lodge this week. The couldn't bait their own hooks, cast correctly, or have the patience to stand still and wait for a bite. But, what they could do was reel in a fish.

The guide caught a fish and was nice enough to let the girls reel it in after he let it swim back out a ways. The girls both felt as if they had actually caught the fish.
