The boys left to Wind Rivers on Monday morning. The girls had fun plans of our own. Lydia flew here Sunday. We were so grateful she could some spend the week with Lynnlee! We left Monday morning to Lava Hot Springs. We picked up Betsy on our way. We got there around 11:30. We spent the day at the pool. Everyone had fun on the slides, in the pool, and trying out the hot tub. It was very very hot, like 112 degrees at least! None of us went on the high dives or platforms. It was a nice relaxing day!
We left the pool around 4:00 pm and checked in at the hotel. Then we walked up and down Main Street. It is such a cute, small town that you can walk up and town in less than 20 minutes. We got ice cream from a Sweet Shop. Yum!
We did a little shopping and watched people float the river. We didn't float the river but I wish I would have put it in the plans because it was something Sienna wanted to do after she watched others. I just didn't think anyone would want to. It would have been fun with a quad tube though and all of us.
We went to a pizza place for dinner. We got there right before the dinner rush. I wasn't pleasantly surprised that they had gluten free crust. Mmm! It was really good too. It was thin and crunchy which I really like. This picture is fun because the guys in the background totally photo bombed quite well.
We did some more shopping but didn't really see anything worth getting. Just had fun checking things out.
That night we went to the hot springs. It rained on us so it felt good to be in the hot water.
We were all so thirsty that Sienna and I went out and got some more water for everyone. We had a normal hotel room with two queen beds. Sienna was a trooper and slept on an air mattress on the floor. It was a little tight but we made it work and it was fun having Lydia and Betsy with us!
We got up around 8:00 and packed up and headed home. We dropped off Betsy around 11:30 am. We went home and got stuff done. I did school and exercised. Then we went back to Betsy's neighborhood and met up to see the movie How to Train Your Dragon. Katie's family was in town so they came too and brought Ivy. We all had the nice luxury seats so it was so cozy and fun! I really liked the movie.
