One of our favorite trips of the summer is to Lake Mauer in Missouri. Brian's aunt and uncle run this camp and over the 4th of July invite the entire Hartzler crew to come and hang out.
This was Lincoln's happy face when I said he could do what ever makes him happy! :)
We love having free range of the camp; swimming, miniature golf, kayaking, fishing, zip line, etc.
The pool is always a cool place to be.

I took a terrible fall the first day when I went fishing with Brian. Later I noticed in Traci's pictures of Lily's fish she had caught me going down. Ha!
Of course there was Rook every night!
Passing on the skills to the younger generation.
Fishing with Papa Mel
One of Brian's many fish!
Jackson needed to be bribed to go fishing the first day, but then there was no stopping him.
And he caught the biggest fish of the weekend!
Happy 4th of July!
Jackson loved Aunt Mary's cherry pie. She used cherries from Great Grandma Elsa's cherry trees.
Lincoln, Jackson, and Kennedy
3 great presidents:)
Zip line time
Uncle Lloyd is so much fun!
His favorite!!
Lincoln was obsessed with the tiny frogs and had lots of pets over the weekend.

Uncle Eldon brings the best first fireworks.
We went to explore the cave near by. This time we had to cut our own path because it was all over grown, but it was worth it.
Caves are so cool and interesting to me!
9 square brought out the competitive spirit in us all :)

Such a great time with all the Hartzlers!
