Weekend Wrap-Up

We had such a great weekend at the Ozarks with for the Edward Jones Summer Regionals.  

We left right after Kael was done with Winning Edge on Thursday morning.  The kids were such good riders! It was a beautiful day when we got there.  Had a little time to walk around the resort since our room wasn't quite ready.

Kent and I then had a quick meeting while Kylee and Kase were at Kids Club.  Kael went bowling and got some ice cream, then when our room was ready, he got our keys and carried in all the luggage from the car! How awesome is that? So proud of him and it was so nice to come back from our meeting with everything already in the room!

Next up was our group dinner.  Kase loved the tattoos.  It was a great night catching up with everyone and then we all hit the pool! It was a fun night for the kids.

The next morning after breakfast the kids hung out in their secret stairway hideout. This crew had so much fun together all weekend.

Kent and I had meetings (mine was a fun Bags tournament!) and Kylee babysat with a friend.  Kael got to go to a group teen bowling outing and Kase had fun in Kids Club.  When my meeting was done we went to the pool for a little bit then went to Redhead's for lunch.  It was a cool place! Kent and Kase had fun playing Ring Toss and Kael had fun talking with our waiter all about the boat races and how fast some boats can go on the lake.

At Redhead's with my favorite redhead!

Then, dessert at Andy's! We made it there twice during our short weekend trip!

Kael's was called "The Mizzou" which is why he is making a face.  He loved the ice cream.

Back at the resort, Kael played mini golf with some friends.

Then, we had a group outing at Bridal Caves! Kids had fun looking in the gift shop and taking funny pictures before we went on our tour.

The caves were really neat!

Kase kept catching "cave kisses" in his mouth.

What a fun group!

That night we had a group dinner on the deck.  Had to take a picture of Kase since we sometimes call him JB!

The live music was great!

There were all sorts of fun things for the kids to wear.

And someone doing caricatures! The kids got some done with their friends.

But Kase told them his name was Charley- ha!

The limbo was so fun! Kase was kind of shy and only did a few rounds.

But Kylee hung in until the end!

Look how much taller she is than the rest of the kids who were still in! Lol. It was a really fun night.

The next morning, Kent had a meeting so the rest of us went to the hotel arcade then hit the pool.  I'm so thankful for this group of kiddos!

We had lunch outside with our good friends.

After a relaxing morning/afternoon at the pool, we had just enough time to race Go Karts! So fun.  Kael was a good sport and had Kase ride with him on one of the races.

We came back to the hotel and got all cleaned up then took the boys to Kids Club and Kylee babysat with a friend again.  I had so many nice comments about her this weekend and how grown up and helpful she is.  So proud.  Later in the night Kael checked a friend out of Kids Club and they went mini golfing so that was great too!

Kent and I met up with some friends in the lobby before dinner.

I truly can't say enough about how thankful I am to be a part of the Edward Jones family.  Kent has worked really hard this last year and got some really special awards.  It was a memorable night celebrating and some very nice things were said about him! I already can't wait until next year's Regionals!
