5 Fun Things To Do This Memorial Day Weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks

Memorial Weekend is here!  Summer is just around the corner and this holiday weekend seems to make people want to get out and play like Summer has already started.  Living in a waterfront home at the Lake of the Ozarks especially makes a person ready for the warmest days of the year.  Looking out of your window at Mission Bay and seeing that gorgeous water with boats cruising back and forth is living at its best.

This holiday weekend, get out and try a few of these entertaining activities.
  

1.  Fireworks

There are lots of places around the Lake of the Ozarks to watch fireworks this year, and many host extra events to go along with the show.  The best part about watching fireworks in this area is that if you see them near the water, you not only get fireworks in the sky, but also their reflection in the water, and the lake is usually dotted with lighted up boats.  Such a beautiful sight!

2.  Cookout

This is a perfect time to phone up all of your friends and host a barbecue.  You can choose to grill right in your own backyard, or head to one of the many beautiful State Parks.  The State Park covers a very large amount of land, but you can get to the beaches and picnic areas from Osage Beach Parkway or Highway 42.  Ha Ha Tonka in Camdenton is a favorite for anyone that has ever lived or visited the Lake of the Ozarks.  You can find out more information about these on the Missouri State Parks website. 

3.  Swimming

There are lots of places to swim when you live on a lake.  Both of the beaches mentioned above are popular spots to lay out your towels and lounge for an afternoon. If you aren't in the mood to get into that large of a body of water, Mission Bay has it's very own pools to play in right on property.

4.  Boating

Another exciting way to enjoy the Lake of the Ozarks is to get your boat into the water.  Not to worry if you don't own one, because there are plenty of places to rent from in the area.  You can spend the day hopping between the numerous waterfront restaurants and bars or pick a quiet cove and just chill out.  Tubing, water skiing, and wake boarding are a few more adventurous ways to spend your day.  

5.  Family Time  

A holiday is a wonderful time to get the entire family together, especially if the kids have grown and moved away.  All of the above ideas are family friendly, and you can add a backyard Olympics or board game championship to the weekend itinerary.

     

Most importantly this Memorial Day, don't forget to remember those that defend this amazing country of ours.  They are the reason that we can enjoy a weekend like this with the freedom that we don't want to ever imagine living without.

Of course, if you live at Mission Bay's waterfront development at the Lake of the Ozarks, even a few quiet days at home can be enjoyable.  However you choose to spend your holiday, have a wonderful and safe weekend.    

Your new home is waiting for you at Mission Bay!
