Two weekends ago we went up to Broken Bow with Dave and Lisa Grow and had a great time. Then my brother came into town for a week, and then my family decided to go to Broken Bow again for a few days. Addie and I went up and left poor Zac at home, since he had to work. Sorry, babe. The former weekend was spent riding 4-wheelers with the kids, wakeboarding, skiing and wakeskating on the boat, skipping rocks in the river, cooking (oh how we love cobbler…), playing games, etc. It was hot, but it was fun to have Eli there for Addie to play with. And after the boating experience, both kids were pooped and took 3+ hour naps. We had lots of fun!

The latter weekend we spent most of our time on the water. We stayed at the Lodge, which is right on the lake, and has a boat ramp right outside the hotel. The weather was hot, hot , hot and the water was hot too, but it was somewhat refreshing. We all skiied and wakeboarded, although Scott is leagues ahead of the rest of us, we had lots of fun. Addie LOVED the boat. She got very attached to her life jacket, and was very good about keeping it on all the time. In fact, she got excited about putting it on. She mostly sat in the boat and watched everyone else ski/wakeboard, and would always tell me when someone fell down (“Scotty fall down, Mommy”, repeated over and over). She loved when we stopped for a break and all jumped in the water. She absolutely loves to swim. She has gotten over any fear she had of water, and now jumps in full force.
We also went golfing one morning. Broken Bow has a beautiful golf course that is always empty, so we played 9 holes one morning before it got too hot (haha, yeah right). Scott’s clubs are up in Utah, so my dad brought him a few of his clubs, but didn’t have an extra golf bag, so he brought a box. It was pretty funny looking. I took pity on him and let him share my bag. We had a great time, although I think my dad was the only one who ever got a par.
Also a great find in Broken Bow: Papa Poblano’s for dinner. Great Mexican food!
We had a great time, and we’ll be back soon!
