So here's some photos from Spring break about a month ago. We had an awesome trip to the Ozarks - long drive but since the kids are older it really isn't as bad anymore. Some friends of ours hooked us up with the link to the
cabins. They'd never been there, and now I hope we don't have to fight them next Spring Break for a reservation because we returned with glowing recommendations and want to go back!
Here's our fun little cabin. Actually I should say big cabin. It had 3 bedrooms - one was a loft upstairs, one was a regular room on the main floor and one was a separate room downstairs on the bluff. The downstairs one could only be accessed by the deck stairs outside, and while it had its own TV it didn't have a bathroom, so it's one we wouldn't be able to use until kids are older. The deck you can see on the back extended all around the cabin; it had a little jog in the middle offering some spaces of semi-privacy, and on the left side of the cabin had a patio with a table that would have been nice for eating breakfast or lunch on.
Our view from one of the decks.
The rock hill behind (in front of?) the cabin. Since the cabin was on the bluff, there was a pretty big drop off about twenty feet from the end of the very bottom deck (outside that solitary bedroom below). The kids were good about staying within the boundaries we set, but the dog got pretty close once or twice. And there weren't any really huge flat areas to run around on, but the kids had a great time climbing around on these rocks, especially once Alex got secure enough that he wasn't getting stuck halfway.
The living room of our cabin. As you can see, we weren't exactly roughing it. To the right of this picture was the TV with satellite reception and a dvd player. And the fireplace was gas, so to light it each night all we had to do was flip that switch on the wall to "on" and away it roared.
There was still snow on the ground the day we got there from the storm that had just passed through. Of course the kids were overjoyed about it. This picture is a little deceptive; this was at the side of the road so it looks deeper than it actually was. But my kids were just happy to have finally seen some snow this year.
Grace and her snow gun.
Alex and his hiking stick.
There were lots of hikes within a 30 minute drive from the cabins. Here's my kids doing their favorite nature activity - throwing rocks into a body of water.
Kids inside a big cave. This picture doesn't do the enormity of it justice. It was huge.
