Big Cedar Lodge in the Ozarks of Missouri

A couple of weekends ago I went to Aaron and Stephanie's to celebrate Aaron's 28th birthday.  We went to Big Cedar Lodge to walk around and take in some nature.  We had gone there three years ago and loved it and I have always wanted to return there.  It is so pretty in the fall with the leaves turning colors and the harvest displays.

The picture below was taken from one of the highest points at the resort....

This picture makes me laugh........while taking a break in these comfy lounge rockers and looking out over the resort and the lake I snapped a shot of Aaron talking about how pretty it was.  But with his hand movements, I'd rather say that he is waving to his subjects while looking out over his kingdom!  And, Stephanie looks like his queen giving her approval!

Aaron's  "kingdom"  !!!!!

We snatched a few colorful leaves to put in an apothecary jar.............

We found this beautiful shaded pergola to snap a few pictures of each other............

This bridge was a pretty place to stand and listen to the waterfall............

Beautiful landscaping at Big Cedar Lodge..........

The turtle pond is one of my favorite spots.  This guy made me laugh while he was doing some back leg stretches while taking in the sun...........

Happy 28th birthday Aaron !  Love MOM
