Lava Hot Springs 8-27-10

Back in August we went to Lava Hot Springs for the weekend to celebrate my sister in law Tricia's birthday. We got there late on the night of the 27th. The next day we had plans to go swimming and possibly go tube the river. The boys were so excited to go to the pool, because of the big slides. When we got there the weather didn't look to promising.

However it held for about an hour of fun before the sky opened up and began to pour!!! The closed the pool in hopes that they would re-open if the weather permitted. Once back to camp we retreated to the motorhome to get out of the rain. Let me just say that it was tight quarters!!! Finally the rain decided to let up and the pool was re-opening. A few of the others decided to hit the river while the rest of us headed back to swim. It was a lot of fun and wasn't to cold. Logan was fearless on the big slides. I was super proud of him, I have to admit I was a little scared being that high up. There were two different slides, a purple one and a yellow one. The yellow one went down part way and then had a bump and dropped off. The purple one was a straight drop off!!!

The purple one was Logan's Favorite

Brandon took Ry down the river with him and needless to say he didn't like it much because Brandon scared him. So Ry ended up in the pool with the rest of us for about a half hour of fun. Brandon cooked a fabulous dinner in the dutch oven that night. It was a great day!! The kids even got to get Aunt Tricia with cans of silly string for her birthday!!!! If that wasn't enough we finished the nigt off with smores and the Hot Pools. The next morning Brandon got creative making breakfast. He kept cooking the hash browns into different shapes which Riley got a kick out of. After it was time to pack up and head for home. It was a fun filled weekend rain and all.
