Lava Hot Springs

The end of June we made our annual trip to Lava hot springs. Overall it was a great time, Maddy sure does love it there. The first day was pretty rainy, but hey that's no surprise it always rains at least once when I go to Idaho. Luckily, it cleared up and was a great day on Saturday to go to the pool. They put in 2 new slides, 60 foot drop FUN FUN! Maddy kept begging to go on them but was way to short, finally we agreed to let her stand in line with the understanding they operator may tell her no. Never once did they say no, only one even questioned me if she was tall enough. She loved the "big" water slides, they were fun but I still think the green slide with no line is the way to go! We never could get Kylie down the new slides (maybe next year) but did get her down the red and green slides. We also took our tubes and made it down the river a couple times. The river was pretty high, I didn't feel comfortable letting Maddy go down the from where we start, she was pretty bummed but still enjoyed getting to ride down the tail end. Kylie went down from the beginning with us, and to our surprise wasn't scared and really enjoyed herself. Our friends Torrey and Amanda her kids, 2 brothers and mom and dad also joined us. Kennedy thought it was pretty cool to walk from room to room.
We had really horrible service this year, its never been great but was by far worse this year. I think we will start camping up there so we can make our own food.
