Before the last days of summer slip into Fall I wanted to take the family someplace where we could have fun and just enjoy each others company! Big Cedar is that place for us. Situated on table rock lake in the midst of the Ozark mountains. It is majestic and at the same time peaceful (just my kind of place).
We can come here to unwind and forget about our worries and obligations at home. We can wrap ourselves in the warm love of family togetherness:) We can laugh and play with the redheads...
Nothing says childhood like a cold sno-cone on a hot summer day.
We ate supper al fresco, soup and sandwiches and smoothies, yum!! The weather was high 80s with a nice breeze. It felt wonderful to us after the 100+ weather that we have had for most of the summer. You can't see from this picture but there is a nice view of table rock lake...ahhhh!
We strolled around the grounds, no timetable or schedule. Just the four of us and the joy of the moment.
We need places like this sometimes. Places that give us permission to slow things down, live in the moment and enjoy each other.
We plan to go back in the Fall when the trees are painted a nice golden-orange and we can wear our sweaters and stocking caps. And maybe again before Christmas so elves can bring milk and cookies to our room:)
Where is your favorite place to go as a family?
I love it!!!! I've never seen the cabins at Big Cedar....One of my favorite places is Dogwood Canyon, to ride bikes....it is peaceful to, and you can unwind and time slows down, no distractions......Love you all, and glad you had a wonderful time :)
