Barton Branson Vacation (Part Two)

This has been a long time coming! (more on that later)

So on day 3 we headed out to Bass Pro Shop's Big Cedar Lodge. We couldn't check in until late in the afternoon so we spent the morning on a rented pontoon boat - SO much fun!!! Perch and Darrin did a little bit of fishing and everyone took turns tubing, well, almost everyone. :)

Look out fellow boaters, Ave's driving!
The fish were not exactly big in this lake...

Ready for some tubing fun!!
Even Gigi braved the waters and tubed for a little while!
The rest of our time spent at the lodge was filled with rest and relaxation. We played in the lazy river and the pool that was right outside the building. One particular little princess seemed to REALLY enjoying swimming! :) Even hanging out indoors was a beautiful site.

Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of the water activities. (My camera's not exactly waterproof.)

On the last night we went out to celebrate Gigi's 50th birthday! We surprised her with a zebra and red cake too, yummy!!


When she figured out we were all up to something. 
She even coordinated her glasses, imagine that! :)
Gross. Get a room!
We got some beautiful group and family shots after dinner and then enjoyed a fun game of mini golf in the most uncomfortable heat! :)
