Lava Hot Springs

Last weekend we met my sister at Lava Hot Springs in Idaho and swam for the afternoon. It was Mike's first time there and it was Vessel's first time in a real pool. We bought him a blow-up floating device to sit in and he practically fell asleep in it from all the bobbing around. I don't think he was all that impressed with the big pool but I don't think he hated it either. He just seemed to have a neutral attitude towards the whole thing. He either clung onto me or Mike, except for in a couple of these pictures where I thought it was so funny to watch him float with his big inflated water diaper. We actually got rained out 45 minutes after we arrived there. Mike went to change thinking we were leaving...but Steph and I knew how quickly Idaho weather can change, so we waited it out and about 15 minutes later it was sunny again. That's why there are no pictures of Mike here. He's all dressed and dry operating the camera. Thanks for taking one for the team, babe!

He floats!

The Big Jump

There's Steph on the 3rd platform, contemplating whether or not to jump. It's about a 30 foot drop from the platform to the water.
  Here she is getting advice or encouragement from the other jumpers. 
She's pretty nervous. 

Still thinking about it.... 

Yaaay! She finally jumped after 20 minutes!

Splish Splash

 

 Seven Peaks Water Park.....lots of screaming kids, hairy backs, and girls in bikinis who SHOULD NOT show off that much skin, am I right? Despite all that, we ended up having the time of our lives sliding, tubing, swimming, and flying off the rope swing. My favorite part was getting schooled by a bunch of kids on the lily pads. For the life of us, Mike, Steph, and I could not make it across those stupid lily pads! What a bunch of weaklings we are.
