Big Cedar Lodge

For Justin's 26th birthday I took him to the Big Cedar Lodge, a beautiful 1800+ acre compound in southern MO/Ozarks territory. We had such a great time and took an unbelievable 550 pictures. Whoops! But it was so beautiful and so relaxing!

We went horseback riding, paddleboating, and canoeing - by the way, Justin did all of the work for the paddleboating and canoeing! Those were all firsts for me, particularly because I'm not fond of the aspect of drowning in a lake. But we turned out just fine, with a lot of great memories.

Barney, my horse, was pretty ornery - even though I requested the 'extreme novice' horse. Every time Justin would try to bring his horse up beside me on the trail, Barney would quickly gallop away! I was caught off guard for the first gallop and said my prayers; after all, I had said no to wearing the helmet! I learned quickly to be the boss of Barney instead of Barney being the boss of me.

We had incredible lodging for the trip - our first night in a cabin, the second in a lodge. Bass Pro Shops owns the compound, so the entire resort is decked out like a Bass Pro Shop - very rustic, mounted game everywhere, even the cabinet and drawer pulls in our bathrooms were antlers! Whoever planned out the resort paid attention to every detail. We were pretty impressed:)

Dad Mom & Sibs - we should plan a family vacation here either Fall '09 or Fall '10. We'll talk about it sometime soon! You would all love it - trust me!
