So the trip was awesome! i went to chicago and went to six flags twice. once with shawn and once with my cousins. and then we drove down to missouri and picked up lara and my dad and headed to our camp site and mind you that drive was 10 hours!! in a lil for taurus with 5 ppl in the car! wow what a drive.. then we stopped for pizza and met up with some of my cousins... Jess, Rachal, katie, anna(shes rachals friend) and my uncle ron and aunt lorita and my other cousin keith..and then went to our campsite and when we got there it was raining so we had to move all of our bags into our camper in the rain! that was fun! then we saw our other cousins lauren and krissy(My family is VERY BIG! our campsites were right on the lake and our whole family took up about 7 sites) it was so pretty there! we went to sleep and then the next day we we went tubing.. and lara had never gone so i went with her.. hah that was well.. interesting.. all i have to say is.. GENTLE BEN!.. then we sat out in the sun for the rest of the day then we went and showerd in the bathrooms there.. adn that was an adventure right there.. it was liek a nice half a mile walk or so and then when we got in there you push the button to start the shower adn then it all of a sudden turns off! and then had a camp fire with the whole family.. the johnsons(jess, rachel, katie,) the stohlucks(aunt kimmy, ryan, matt, and kayle).. the yetkas(Aunt kathy and uncle kenny).. the heleys(lauren, keith, aunt tina) and then family friends(matt, kenny, steph) theres alot more that im missing but ya it was alot of ppl sitting by the fire .. then the next it rained(it did that most of the time but oh well) we went into town in branson and looked for these natural springs hah that was a trip.. and then we went on the boat on and went to the marina and got ice cream at 7(they close at 7 but we had them stay open an extra 10 mins lol they remembered us the rest of the trip as the ppl taht get ice cream! then one day we went Go Karting and it might not sound like that get of a time but it was... you liek go up this sprial thing like 5 times and then got down and bit and idk it was huge!! that was alot of fun.. then the one day me jess and lauren got bored so we decided to take out the blow up row boat thing.. now this thing is really only ment for 2 ppl but we fit 3 of us in there and we started rowing and made it like to the middle of the lake (the lakes HUGE ) it was like a mile from our campsite adn then we were like well were halfway to the clif so why dont we just go the rest of the way?! so we were paddling adn then we had to make a quick stop to go pee lol adn then when we were trying to go back out jess couldnt get back into the boat! it was funny wow i think you had to be there.. then we were half way from our stoping point to the clif adn then aunt kathy went by in is this lil liek fishing boat thing thats no bigger then a paddle boat and started pulling us the the clif and by that point my uncle ron who was drivin the big boat went by us and made his wake go right into us almost making us fall. which would of been really bad cuz we had a buinch of stuff in the boat that would of sunk to the bottem.. then we finally get to the cliff and we swam over to where you walk up it and then jump off... and we did have lifevest so it was a little scarry when you got up there.. its like 20 feet high.. and my whol family is at the very top of the cliff just looking over and being scared to jump.. so i took someones lifevest and jumped.. and wow it was such a thirll.. it was so fun! hah and then i dont really reamember what we did for the rest of the week but we had fun! i missed that side of my family so much cuz they all live in chicago and i never go and see them.. but were gonan go camping with them again next year so taht will be fun! but heres some pics of the trip....... ill put more on there later when i get them
