This weekend we got to go to Lava Hot Springs with our dear friends the Kinghorns and the DePolas. It was a hot weekend but so much fun! We camped just outside of town at Smith's Trout Haven. It was a nice camping spot but not much shade. Trent got to use his new tent he got for his birthday and it was much bigger than we thought it would be. It was awesome! The kids loved playing in it (especially Grant and Seppi. They went nuts in there!) and they each had their own "room" at night to sleep in. 
We got to camp Friday evening and the boys went golfing. They had fun while the ladies visited and put the kids down. 
A group of what seemed to be LDS singles moved into the camp spots next to us and decided to be loud and annoying until 3 am. I'll forever love them for that (NOT) so the next morning when the kids woke up at the crack of dawn, we returned the favor :) We spent all of Saturday in our swimsuits going back and forth between the swimming pool and the river run. It was a stinkin' hot day but staying wet helped. We ran the river while the kids slept in the cars with the AC running. It looked like a calm little run but so many people were getting hurt. One guy had his whole back missing patches of skin, one guy in front of Corie visibly broke his finger on a rock, Trent dumped and his leg got all torn up, and I did just fine until a rock sneaked up on me and slammed into my bum cheek. (still kinda hurts to sit). 
That night the boys took the kids back to camp to put them down and the ladies got to go sit in the hot pools. Man, they were HOT!!! Scalding almost. . .but so relaxing. And the water felt so good on our skin--no harsh chemicals just pure, unfiltered water. When we got back to camp, it was hard to stay awake.Sunday we were sad to have to pack up camp and part ways but we were so happy to have had such a fun and safe trip. Now back to real life. . .

sounds way fun. i've never been before.
did you see my cu memories post? :) thought you might enjoy it since you know some of them.
I have always wanted to go there! Trent's tent looks almost like a hotel or something. It's nice to have big tents with kids and all of the crap you have to pack for them. I love the picture of the kids tuckered out in their car seats.
How FUN to see all of you together in those pictures, and all those cute kids! It's so great you guys have stayed such close friends. :)
I would have told Tyler to go yell just outside the other people's tents for being so loud the night before. That sounds mean, doesn't it?
What an awesome trip. Why haven't we gone camping with Amylee and our families?
