Big Walker Family Vacation

Lake of the Ozarks, August 4-11, 2007

We went with the whole Walker family (Grandma and Grandpa, Jason and Ann, Jesse and Cynthia and cousin Josiah) and stayed in a 4 bedroom condo with a great view of the lake. It was really nice and we all had a wonderful time together.

Unfortunately we only remembered to take our camera to one place. Miner Mike's it is like an indoor mini amusement park with an arcade. We spent 3 cool days here in the air conditioning when it was over 100 degrees outside!

We didn't even have to pay a quarter for Lucas to play in the arcade.

Allison liked walking around and checking out all the bright lights.

They had this runaway mine train roller coaster. The track wa probably only about 50 yards long and just ran in a little circle, but man it was fast and fun!
This was actually pretty funny. The first time he rode the bumper cars he was all by himself on the track so he just drove all over having a good time and pretty proud of his driving skills. Then the second time he drove there were a few more kids and they were bumping into him. He just gave them his really serious stare like, "What do you think you are doing?"

Lucas got everyone to ride the bumper cars with him, even Grandma

And Daddy!

This was also really funny. The train roller coaster was right above us. So just as we were trying to get a picture the roller coaster started moving, the kids could not keep their eyes off it as it went around and around.

Finally the ride stopped and we got them all to look at us, well sort of.

The great part about vacation is the kids get really worn out. Lucas had his own room (mommy and daddy's closet). We brought an air mattress for him but he spent most of his time sleeping in the crack between the wall and his bed. Go figure.
