Lake of the Ozarks-Part I (Friday)

After breakfast on Friday morning we decided to hit the links for a small round of golf...or rather a round of "small" golf at Pirate Cove. The day was already overcast so naturally we had the place to ourselves (good thing we are from the northwest and not afraid of getting a little wet!) Travis started out showing us how it was done and that he could do it equally well right or left-handed! It wasn't long before he got the first (of two!) hole in one!

Jenny did much better than she thought she would - especially when she didn't bother to aim at all and she also scored a hole in one! Gerry and I were basically just along for the walk...or swim since by the time we'd hit the 8th or 9th hole it had pretty much started to POUR. We debated about giving it up for the day but then discovered that a couple of the holes actually were underneath the back side of the waterfall and so we took our time on those holes waiting for at least some of the rain to let up.

By the time the rain started up again we were already on the 14th and figured we'd just tough it out - but brother were we soaked! We all agreed that the little guy did great for his attempt at being caddy but it was time to head back to our "little" condo, have some lunch and hopefully get dried off.

The remainder of the day was spent playing games and doing a little laundry (well - most of it was wet anyway so it just seemed the logical thing to do). Dinner was at J.B. Hook's (please don't ever confuse it with Hooker's on the opposite end of town!) Unfortunately we made a wrong turn on the way that resulted in about a one-hour delay and Jax had pretty much had it by the time we arrived but eventually he forgave us and calmed down for the meal. Our view would have been of a spectacular sunset if only the clouds hadn't gotten in the way but the food definitely made up for it.
