This October we are going back to the Lake of the Ozarks for a band reunion. We had a great time at this club! We were a 4 piece-three girls and one guy.

We would go camping at the Lake every year. One year my mom made us bring a suit and tie. I thought she was crazy but she wanted to go to the Aquarama. I remember seeing the mermaids and freaking out wondering how they were breathing.
