more like family

we left on a thursday, three of the four girls. we laughed like we were in middle school, about things i've been sworn to keep tight to my chest. all while listening to the twilight soundtrack, over and over and over. these are things we just don't get to do very often. in the midst of jobs, household responsibilities, and wild 2 year old boys, conversations are often clipped to a couple of sentences. we were going to big cedar, in branson, for a little girl time and our boys would be joining us in two short days, but for those two days we pretended to be about 12. we tried on cute clothes, we ate junk food, and found one of those trampolines that you get harnessed into, sorry no pictures from that one.

our guys and missing friend joined us on saturday. we swam, water skied, played games, drove go-carts until the little boys all started crying, debated- a lot, the boys guys invented "aqua tip", the girls tried to humiliate our husbands by buying them matching outfits- it didn't work, and realized we are so lucky to have such great friends.

big cedar is an amazing place and i highly recommend it! on the way home we stopped at lamberts, apparently famous for throwing rolls at their customers. the last photo is of my friend mandy, she's a personal trainer. she thought ordering a salad would be a healthy approach this restaurant of excess- apparently not. it arrived in a frying pan.
