Lava Hot Springs!!!

The Summer is almost over and Carson will be starting school soon, so we thought we had better take the chance to play just a little bit more before it is too late! So Nicholas and I took the kids up to Lava Hot Springs in Idaho to play! It is about 10 Min East of McCammon, right off I-15 on your way to Pocatello. We met my Sister and her family and my mom there. Both Marisa's hubby and my Dad had to work, we missed them tons! If you haven't ever been to Lava, it is a pretty fun place. They have a HUGE pool with water slides and Olympic size diving boards and platforms that people can jump off of. When we were little, my sisters and I would attend swim camps here in the summer time. We would camp next door to the pool and in our time off we would play in the hot pots and go tubing down the river that runs through the town. It was such a great child hood memory, so it was fun taking my kids to Lava! Here are some pictures from our day there.

The two little girls spent more time eating Cheetos and Doritos than swimming I think and they were pretty orange when they were done!

We had a blast! It was a busy day and we had to park at the very end of the parking row to find a spot. Kaylee insisted that she carry a half full gallon of water to the van. Which she did. Along with her own bottle of water and a roll she was trying to eat. That girl is so determined and once she makes up her mind about doing something, she will do it! I guess that is a good characteristic to have, but it can be very frustrating sometimes as her mom!

We can't wait to go again! It will be super fun when the kids are old enough to take tubing down the river! That will be a blast!
