Our parents have been taking a yearly vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks for a few summers now. Well, they fell in love with the lake. In April or May they bought a house right on the lake. It's beautiful! We all went down last week and spent the week on the lake. As you can see in the pictures, I was having to much fun enjoying myself. I didn't take enough pictures. There is an animal preserve near the house. They take just about any animal that needs a home. They have everything from ponies to camels, lamas, even a zebra! They are all pretty much domesticated. We fed them carrots right out of our hands. Our friends the Corbetts were also there in a house just down the road. We went over one night for dinner. We had heard this rumor about a pet deer that roamed the area. (Doug said he had seen it, but we thought he was seeing things!) We were out on the water at Corbetts and this deer came right up too us. The story goes that he was abandoned in that area as a fawn. Some people found him and put a bright orange collar on him. They wanted to make sure he didn't become anyone's dinner. It was really amazing. I have never been that close to a live wild animal. He let us pet him and fed him.
Our vacation was great! We can't wait til the next time we are able to return. CJ & Angela, you two were missed. Every time we turned around it seemed like we were saying, "I wish CJ & Ang were here."
