Lava Hot Springs

We went to Lava Hot Springs last weekend with my family. I absolutely LOVE that place! I always have so much fun there. We were able to do lots of fun things while we were there. My Grandma and her sister Viola planned a bracelet making party for all of the girls (and some boys but we won't name names.....Kenny, Roger, and Reid). Maggie even got to wear a bracelet!

When we arrived at Lava, I realized what a good mother I truly am because I forgot to pack Turner some socks and his swimming suit. Honestly! What was I thinking? Oh that's right, I was trying to do laundry, dishes, pack my stuff, the dog's stuff, the babies stuff, pump, feed the baby, change the baby's diaper, give the baby a bath because he had a major blow out while playing in his exersaucer, make homemade baby food, bake zucchini bread, and get myself in the shower. No big deal right? I don't know how these things get forgotten. Anyway, while in Lava, I had the wonderful task of finding Turner a swimming suit. Turns out it wasn't that easy. My dad and I had the opportunity of dealing with one of the local gems at a swim suit shop on Main Street. A lady who apparently has never seen a gift card before. Need I say more? However, a swim suit we needed and a swim suit we got.
We all had alot of fun swimming with Turner in the swimming pool! I think he had fun too!







Surprisingly, Justin talking me into going down the water slides with him. I am generally not much of a swimmer but it was really fun. Just a warning though......don't ever try and sit up in an enclosed water slide! A serious bump on the noggin could result. This warning may or may not come from personal experience. he he
All in all, we had a blast! Thank you to my wonderful family for the fun times and good food! We love you!

We have never been to Lava Hot Springs before... we will have to check it out! Looks like you guys had fun! And don't worry... once you forget something the first time... you won't forget it again. But you probably will forget something else. Its a never ending cycle!

Yeah for Lava. Went there for the first time this summer and enjoyed it. Although, I still hold that is is more of a winter retreat...at least the hot springs. Cute pictures and entertaining writing, you crack me up. And, nope, if you forget something you will probably forget the same thing over and over again (my possibly personal experience- why are burp rags and extra diapers so hard to remember?!) Glad it all turned out well!
