There are so many pictures I want to post, I decided to do it in a couple of posts, just in case anyone actually looks at the pictures. I don't want one of my precious flist who happens to use dial up to have their computer crash because of me!

So, we spend the first week of our vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks. Brad's parents have a nice little house there and lots of boats and other toys you need at the lake. It is always much fun.

Zoe kissing a fish. This has become a tradition. I don't understand it really, but when she was two and we were at the lake, Grandpa Terry thought her fascination with the fish he was catching was funny, and to see how close she'd get he told her to kiss one. She didn't even hesitate. Now she has to do the trick every year. This is Uncle Kirk, Brad's brother, holding the fish. It went back in the water after the kiss.

Maria and Luci "toobing" behind the boat.

Uncle Kirk took all three of the girls wake surfing. It is really very cool. Don't know if you've ever seen anyone do it, so I'll 'splain. You "surf" on a small surf board on the huge wake behind a wake boarding boat. You only need a rope to pull you up, then you can let it go slack or even throw it back in the boat, since you are so close. You can see in the last one with Luci, there is no rope in the picture. It is fun to watch and apparently fun to do. The girls loved it.
