GBS Girls Weekend

This past weekend was our annual "GBS Girls Weekend" down at the Lake of the Ozarks. We had our usual crowd, minus Leann unfortunately - Saskatoon was a little far to go for a weekend trip.

We all arrived Thursday evening and ate at Tres Hombres (oddly enough my request for Mexican if you can believe that! They have the best Queso dip!) Then we went back to the Cowan house to unload our gear, have some more beverages and catch up. Friday morning - fishing was attempted by Greg and Tim only to get rained on. Thankfully the storm passed quickly and we took both our boat and Dave's (or Ashley's boat as the kids say) to Scott's house for the day. The lake was empty so we got to use our boat to tube and ski without any issues. The afternoon was spent at Scott's chilling at the dock, enjoying margaritas, BBQ & friends.
Friday night we had babysitters and the adults got to go to the Trail House for dinner and then Hollywood Dolly's for a revisit of New Years a couple years ago.

Saturday was a cove day - the morning was rained out for any skiing/tubing but we were going to go out at noon one way or another. After a trip back for the anchor - we made it to a new cove suggested by our friends for an afternoon of more beverages and friends and good times. The sun even managed to peak out at us in the afternoon to make it just a little bit warmer.

Sunday (of course the warmest day of the weekend) we had breakfast at Captain Ron's and then the group had to depart for the drives/flights. Since we don't have that long of a drive we got to enjoy some time at the swim dock at the Cowan's house with the Taris family plus Jess/Rob. The sun was out and the water felt very good. Megan even went down the slide multiple times and there were some wave runner rides for the kids to enjoy.

On our trip back to Columbia Tim decided we should eat at Shakespears (and who am I to argue with that?) so we hooked up with the Slenker family for pizza and then ice cream at Shaky's - which is where the photo of the girls comes in to play as they always like to get their picture with the bulldog. It was a nice ending to a great weekend.

Now we just need to catch up on all the laundry, sleep, cleaning, and detoxing from all the food and drinks.




Happy Birthday to my Mom who turned another year older on Saturday. They spent the weekend in Chicago with my two brothers and their wives for some Chi-town fun. However from what I hear Mr. Trump needs to work on the service level at his Tower......better hop to it Donald.
