Anyway. We stayed at this funny little bed and breakfast kind of place in Lava Hot Springs when we were there. They had about 5 or 6 hot springs pools around the building. The kids were in heaven. The day we left I guess they were refilling the main pool in front, and so the water level was a little lower than normal. This meant that the big boys didn't need their floaties and they could go crazy.
Speaking of the boys, they all woke up SO excited. They just wanted to get into the pools right away. They really had a blast.
Here's the funny mountain hill thing that looked like popped up right behind the pool.
and the pool:
Like usual, the pool looked really gross because of all the minerals in the springs, but luckily, _unlike_ other pools like this we've been in, it was nice and clean. And it was truly heaven for the boys. They could've just swam for an entire week straight--well swam and just come out once in a while for red vines and chips of course.
Grandpa Ken always coaches little boys in weird kinds of jumps.
I just asked Max what kind of jump this was and he said "the belly-flop." I guess I wasn't there when we was taught that one.
Parker was a great jumper too.
Max says the next one is called the "daddy jump."
There were some really beautiful flowers around the hotel and pools, we enjoyed those for sure.
After the swam we packed up our stuff and headed back in the mini vans for home. Now that's a whole nother story...
oh, but not before a little big boy fun:

laaaaava looks like lots of fun! Too bad you couldn't rope some sheep, feed a baby cow a bottle, and go to your first rodeo. that's what I did in laaaaava.
but then again, i didn't swim. so, you win.
That looks like loads of fun! Brian and I really need to get the kids and go more places. With both sets of grandparents living so far away all of our "vacations" are to their houses......I think the grandparents just need to come with us to some fun places like this.
Okay. First of all we wasn't taught that one. We never was. Ever. And second of all, the daddy jump is too dangerous to be repeated in any form whatsoever. EVER. And third of all - those flowers never looked so good in real life - you oughta start one of those "Shooting Star" services for flowers because dang those flowers look good - but you don't do so well for old dancing women in loose shirts.
