Big Cedar Weekend

This weekend we took a 3 day weekend trip down to Big Cedar Lodge which is just south of Branson. We had a 1 bedroom suite connected to a studio and Abby thought it was the greatest thing to have her own room, her own fridge, bathroom, kitchen, broom, mop,....you get the deal. Then she had to share it all with Megan, which wasn't that bad either. I think The Little Mermaid played on her DVD all weekend. We managed to do some swimming, shopping, napping, and a little bit of walking around. Tim is still fighting a cold from last weekend so we were limited on our time out. We did have some extra pancakes leftover from breakfast so we went on a mission to see if there were any ducks left on the lake. Usually there are some down by the boat dock/bait shop. We walked all the way down to the last dock to find these 3 lonely and hungry mallards.


Abby enjoyed feeding them.

Tim gave Megan a piece to throw, but she ate it.

We made a trip out to the Outlet mall to use some gift certificates from Christmas. megan enjoyed rearranging and carrying the bags around for the rest of the weekend - I think we might have a little shopper.....

On Sunday we went to find the ducks again since we had a couple pancakes left and couldn't let them go to waste. The ducks were located on one of the properties inner ponds so we got out right on the bank with them. I threw some crumbs up on the grass and they were right at my feet. Abby wasn't too thrilled about that part. Tim actually had them eating out of his hand. They were quite tame. Abby thought they were going to follow us home.

Then of course Megan's first Valentine's Day. Just a little bib to celebrate the day. Couldn't find any My First Valentine's Day onsies in an 18 month. We really didn't do anything special for the day other than the long drive home and some playing when we got back to the house. Tim was pretty tired so they had to deal with just Mom who was also trying to laundry, cook dinner, and clean up a little all at the same time. Abby is pretty excited to go back to the "fancy hotel" and we'll be back down in the end of June for a week so it will be new to us to be there in the summer for once. We'll actually get to swim in an outdoor pool!

We hope everyone had a fun Valentine's Day. This coming weekend is Megan's first birthday. My how the time has flown by.
