big cedar lodge

we spent some family time last weekend at big cedar lodge.
just past branson, mo. big cedar is only about 3.5 hours from kansas city.
the kids had a blast!
such a fun weekend of no schedules, doing a ton of fun things and just being a family.

 it was such a hot weekend, that the lazy river was a favorite for everyone.

a quick break for lunch.

the feel of this place is amazing.  i love the history of it, and all of these old original (circa 1921) buildings.

we played miniature golf after dinner every night.  also a favorite was ice cream out of an airstream trailer!

 the setting at big cedar is just so beautiful and relaxing.  paddling around in a canoe was so fun and a first experience for the boys.

if you're looking for a family getaway this summer, i suggest big cedar lodge!
