Big Cedar Resort

We love going to Big Cedar Resort. It is a beautiful place in Ridgedale, Missouri that has wonderful rustic lodging. We have been blessed to be able to stay there several times. This time we stayed in Falls Lodge in a gorgeous suite overlooking the resort and Tablerock Lake. The boys love everything about Big Cedar - the guest rooms, the pools, the restaurants, the arcade and canoeing.

HALLOWEEN

We had a wonderful and frightful Halloween. Sam dressed up as Albert Einstein. His best friend, Sam B., went as a banana. Alec jumped into the trick-or-treating groove using his old mask from last year. He has graduated to carrying a pillowcase for the candy which means he's nearing the end of his trick-or-treating career.

But the winner of the day was our dachshund, Hazel. She dressed up as a hot dog, complete with mustard and relish. We took her to Missouri State University's homecoming festivities during the day (Tim and I are alumni), and I can't tell you how many people went ga-ga for her. So many strangers took her picture. Even the fraternity guys drinking their cheap Natural Light beer made over her. Tim and I were like proud parents. We loved making the joke that she's actually a bratwurst since she's German.

All in all, a really fun Halloween!

What a wiener!
