Lava Hot Springs


Lava hot spring Was one of the funnest place John and I have been this summer, we had a great time up in Idaho. The first day we got there it was a Thursday night, we just unpacked and got all settle with the kids. We of course stay up all night talking and laughing have a great time. We are so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful family friends that invited us to go with them and have fun!!! So the next day we woak up and the boys went golfing and us girls just hung out and got the kids ready to hit the pool. So around 11:oo in the morning we loaded up and headed to the pool. When we got there and I saw the platforms I was so excited to go and jump off of them so we unpacked are stuff got everything nice and ready to hang out at the pool we all headed up to jump of the platforms, left just say when I got up there it looked just alittle higher than it did on the ground. So Afton and I jumped together it was fun. I only bad thing was when I jumped I didn't straighten my leg all the way so I pulled a muscle that hurt the rest of the day.


Here we go!!!


In the air


Are hang out area for the day!!! The weather was beautiful the kids were loving it!!!

Sayla loves just to float.

Makenna was going crazy from slide to slide to diving board she never stopped. We were there for 6 hours and finally we were getting ready to go and she was not ready at all. she was very bugged that we were leaving. I have to say I love having a fish for a daughter!!!

Makenna Jumping off the High dive we were so proud of her!! I have to tell you and the beginning of the day Makenna wanted to jump of the high dive but she was scared she kept going up there and then getting scared and then coming back down but by the end of the day she finally over came it and she jumped off the high dive she by far was the littlest girl there it was so cute!!!
Getting to ready to jump!! She is such brave sole!!

Makenna jumping off the diving board!!!
I love this picture!!!

There was a rock wall in the indoor pool, John and Makenna were having so much fun!!! John and Makenna disappeared for alittle while and then she came running back to me mom you got to come and see this. So we all ended up going into the end door pool were there was rocking climbing wall!!! Makenna showed us how far she could climb up the wall. She could climb pretty dang far!!

Dad daughter time!!

So that night we headed back to the cabin and had a big feast!!! This is everyone on the deck eating dinner. Look at the back ground it was beautiful where we stay. John and I were in heaven!!!
All the cute little girls in the bath tub getting all scrubbed up and ready for bed!!!
So after we put all the kids to bed Just the Adults went to the hot pots and it was lovely thanks to Jess and Mat who stayed back at the cabin with all the kids, We had fun just relaxing and enjoying the hot water!!
The Next day which was Saturday was the river day. We were so excited, we rented to two 4 man tubes for the day and started running the river. I have to say this was by far the funnest thing ever. Makenna and Sayla loved it. So here we are just getting ready to run the river for the first time, we have no children aboard because we need to make sure it was safe!!!
We are approaching the drop off and we are alittle scared if you look at all of our faces!!! We are stuck on a rock and we are trying to get free but want to stay to the left so we don't tip the tube!!
We are free and no we are in for it!!!
Almost done!!
We are covered by water and then we would just pop right out!!! We had so much fun!!
So went down the river multiple times all of us taking turns it was a blast, there were rapis through out the entire river run, the river run was about 1 mile long and then we would have runners sitting at the bottom who would pick us up and then we would do it again!!!
I love this picture because I have both of my kids on with John and I and you can not even see them!!
Makenna and Sayla loved it!!! Makenna never stop going down the river!!
Lava Hot Springs was alot of fun we had a great time being together as a family.

Im sad we missed both vacations this year with your family. And I am very impressed you guys went off that top diving board. I went off and it scared the crap out of me. I dont think I will ever do it again. Way to high for me. Looks like you had tons of fun!
