Summer of Reunions

We've had a really fun summer full of visiting family and having family visiting us.  We went to Thanksgiving Point and had lots of fun.

In June we had the our family from Georgia come visit us for a few days and then we all went to Lava Hot Springs Idaho.  We stayed in a way nice cabin just outside of town.  We played games, watched movies, and of course enjoyed all of the hot springs/pools in the area.  It was fun to see everyone especially before Liz and Spencer get married so it was kind of the last time for the original group to be together (tho technically I'm not a part of the original group haha).

The Cabin:

We also went to the soda hot springs guiser (sp?) nearby. It was pretty stinky and very hot.  Jake was def a lil nervous with swimming at the local pool-it was pretty crowded, but later on our Richards' reunion he warmed up to swimming.  One thing I will say is that I don't know why you'd want to swim in a heated pool when it's triple digits outside...but other than that it was pretty cool.

this is the river that everyone tubed down:

the lava hot springs:  We went in all of the pools even tho some of us felt like we were going to die

a popular icecream shop sold square shaped ice cream scoops with the slogan, "it's cool to be square"

It was lots of fun and we can't wait for everyone to come back for Liz's wedding next month!
