Take me back....

Last summer, my family took a trip for a couple of days to Lava Hot Springs.  We had access to a couple of cabins up there that a friend of the family let us use.  We had the cabins for 4-5 days and took full advantage of every second of them.  We haven't been to Lava Hot Springs since the year Troy was born, so we were all excited to go.

There was a lot exploring and hiking...






Lots of climbing... 


Lots of soaking in the hot springs... 




 And of course lots of swimming in the pools...





One of the cabins had this cool looking campfire site just a short hike away from it.  We spent every night roasting marshmallows up there.

 Oh and we can't forget Brooks birthday!
What a lucky boy to be on vacation on his big day.



Last day here called for lots of family pictures.  The kids were such good sports.  I pretty sure we took 50+ pics that morning.

On our way out of town, we decided to rent some tubes to float the river.  So so so FUN!  I think this was the highlight of the trip.  The kids were grinning from ear to ear the whole time.  We rode it down 4 or 5 times.



  
We were sad that Cody, Wendy and their kids couldn't come with us.  We missed them tons. Cute baby Hayden was born just a week or two before.  We did promise them that we would do it again soon.

The Call

My cute niece Jessica received her mission call.  
She was called to serve in the Ohio Cincinnati Mission.  I couldn't be more excited for her!  She is going to be an AMAZING missionary.  Love her to pieces.
