4th Annual Lava Hot Springs trip!!!

Every year we go to Lava Hot Springs with my family! August kinda snuck up on us this year and we decided to go the weekend before the kids started school! Only our family and Rhett's family were able to go this year, we missed everyone being there with us but we still had alot of fun!
Last year we tubed the river in the morning before we went to the pool, and the kids had alot of fun so we decided to do it again! Lance and Halle were older this time too, they didn't love it, but we had them go down with us a few times! We rented 2 of the 4 man tubes and all piled on making sure there was an adult to go with the kids each time! The water was alot higher this year which meant alot more rapids! The kids had a blast!
We missed my mom there taking pictures of us while we were floating down the river!
We didn't get any this time!

All my pictures were taken on my phone! I didn't take too many and the kids didn't like posing so I snapped these while I could!
These kids have so much fun together, Nate is just one of them! They can't get enough of each other when they are together!

I love that Lava really is in the middle of nowhere! It is the funnest little place to go! Boston even noticed the "L" on the mountain!

Halle having a snack... I think the sun is in her eyes!

These 2 little beautys slept for a couple of hours! It was so nice! We would take turns sitting with them while the others would go on the slides!

Having lunch!

This was Brinley's first time ever jumping off of the platforms!
She had decided she was going to jump off the lowest one and she loved it, so she went for the higher 2! She and Nate saved the biggest one for last! They spent the last 30 minutes on the top waiting to jump! Finally Brinley decided to jump and it took Nate up till the last second when they announced that they were closing that he finally decided to take the plunge! It was pretty funny! Boston jumped from the lowest one, and that was it! It is crazy to think that Zach was his age when he jumped off the highest one his first time! Different personalities... Boston doesn't love the fast slides either, we couldn't get him to go on one! He is kinda a mama's boy, and I kinda like it!

We always go to the Hot Pots after the pool closes at 8! The water is SO hot, so we don't last long. There was this little ledge that all the kids wanted to sit on, so they had to take turns...There were so many people here this night! It was packed!

Just as we were leaving

We stopped and got ice cream on our way out of town, the kids were so tired, and slept all the way home!

Zach has really been into these Oakley sunglasses. They all had theirs on and wanted to walk into the ice cream place with them!
