Remembering the Alamo.....from MO

The post says it all. Our much anticipated San Antonio trip had to be cancelled last minute. Olivia came down with a nasty ear infection and RSV. We had no idea she was even sick outside of a cold except for the wheezing that began on Wednesday which prompted the Thursday doctor visit. This is one of those cases where you have to put the love and well being of your child before yourself knowing full well that we lost our money on the airline tickets but the hotel and car rental was nice enough to offer a full refund. Deep in our hearts we could not chance her little ear drums bursting on the plane. Hunter was so disappointed it brought tears to his eyes. So in an effort to try to salvage the long weekend without really nice weather that we were so looking forward too we rented a condo down at Osage Beach for the weekend and were going to attempt Miner Mike's which is a family favorite and whatever else we could find. Good news is the Condo was beautiful. We have stayed in these people's home before but it was the older one across the street. Both are wonderfully decorated , spacious and a beautiful view of the lake. Bad News is that most everything is closed for winter in Osage beach. It really is a tourist spot where even the indoor attractions must not generate enough business to be open. Yet another disappointment...no Miner Mike's. So we thought that we would take the kids to the Outlet Mall to pick out a toy at KayBee. Not happening either, KayBee went bankrupt. So we ended up at Walmart. Mike and I's thoughts were we could do this at home for free. Oh well, live and learn. Hunter and Mike did get to enjoy Bridal Cave and Jacob's Cave and it was a nice reprive from home. Olivia is better this week and Hunter is back to school so routine settling in.

Now...someday we will get to that Alamo I just know it.
