Vacation Photos

One day of our vacation we visited
the Deanna Rose Farmstead in
Overland Park. The kids love to feed
the animals and spend time in the
play area. This time we also took

the time to fish in the pond - that
was sure messy, but both kids caught
lots of perch and had a good time.
A fun, cheap afternoon of entertainment.

We also spent a some time feeding
carrots and apples to the Elk and Bison
near Missouri Town. Both of the kids
love animals of all kinds. It is pretty
cool to see them up close. We could
only get two of the Elk to come to the
fence and about a dozen of the
Bison came up at the end.

While at the Lake of the Ozarks,
Kendall caught this nice catfish
off of the dock. Both kids had been
catching some perch and then when
Kendall hooked this fish I could tell
it was a better fish. Besides us being

stopped by the Water Patrol
(Policeman Boat), it was his
highlight of the trip to the lake.

Lizzy got to drive John's Boat a
couple of times, there was no doubt
that was her favorite thing of the
whole trip. She couldn't quit smiling
when she was behind the steering
wheel on that big old lake.....
