Lava Hot Springs

We have had a VERY BUSY 2 Weeks. As Dustin got ready to leave for his mission his sisters and I wanted to do one last fun activity with him. So to his surprise we floated down a small creek in Lava just 30 min away. WE had a BLAST!! We took a picnic lunch, and floated and played a lil in the park. We only lost sunglasses and a hat to the river and everyone stayed on their tube for the most part. It was a memorable outing.

We said goodbye to Dustin, last week. It was hard for Mady she loves Dustin so much. We went for his setting apart and she just clung to him. We're excited for him and know that he is going to be a wonderful missionary.

LAGOON
After Dustin's farewell we took the girls to Lagoon. We took our motorhome and stayed the night in a trailer park next to Lagoon. We woke up and got ready to ride the rides. It wasn't too busy and we barely had to stand in line ever and it wasn't too hot. We had a lot of fun. Mady is tall enough to ride the roller coaster and some of the bigger rides, with Jappy. She was nervous at first but then decided that it was fun. It's sad that she's growing up. Brooklyn is still to little to ride the big rides but she had fun on the kiddie ones.


After lunch we met up with the Lowder's minus Amber, she was at girls camp. We met them at Lagoona beach a played in the water for a couple hours, and then headed back to the rides.


We were very proud of the girls, they didn't whine once that they we're tired or that they wanted us to carry them. They had a positive attitude all day. Maybe their more ready for DisneyLand than we thought.

On the way home poor Brooklyn just CRASHED. We were all worn out, but it was worth every exhausting moment.
