Lava Lava Lava Lava take TWO



Thats right. Over labor day weekend we packed up the rendezvous and hauled ourselves back up to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho! This time it was just us and at first Kelcy was super upset about it but then she was so excited to be there that when the time came to leave she cried and said she wanted us to move there because she never wanted to leave! SO FUNNY.
I took almost 150 pics in like ONE day because my batteries were dead the first day so get ready for severe Lava picture overload.
We had drama of course when we were leaving. As some of you may remember in January our tire almost fell off of our car,well naturally when the car is loaded up and we are hopping on the freeway it decides to do that AGAIN. This time they were able to fix it and give us the good news that we need to buy a new rim for our car to take care of the problem. Lovely. So we didnt get to Lava until it was dark. We hurried and set up camp and then went to dinner. The restaurant we went to was nice and totally casual which made me happy because the girls were definitely wound up after being in the car.
The next day we decided it would be fun to drive into Soda Springs and see the Geyser. It was really fun and lasted a lot longer than I anticipated.


On the way to the geyser. we stopped for treats.


This is what the ground looked like.

Maddie gets scared of decks where she can see through the cracks and she freezes up and wont move. its actually really funny.


Exploring the walkways at the Geyser. It only goes off every hour on the hour so we had some time to kill.

MMM suckers


There she goes!!





It got really high. probably 50 feet or so.

YAY this is fun... is it over yet?
We drove past this cool barn on the side of the road on the way back to Lava



Then we decided to go to the arcade in town.



The girls played air hockey


Maddie got bored. So we went swimming in the cold pools. then when it got cold we moved to the hot pools. Kelcy made friends with a little girl in the pools and we all just lounged around before heading back to camp and roasting up some smores. Which i took pics of but really am to lazy to post right now.
