Lava Trip

Last year we attempted a trip with our friends that live in  Idaho to Lave Hot Springs. They fell ill with a flu while we were there and had to cut the trip short.

This year, we thought we would try for a redo. We stayed at Smith's Trout Haven. Best campground ever. It is perfect for the kids to run around on the grass. There are a few playgrounds and even a fishing pond. Saturday we went to the big outdoor pool in Lava. It is kind of pricey but the kids had fun. Sunday we decided to go tubing down the Portneuf River. It was SO SO fun. We could have gone over and over but only rented the tube for an hour so we only made it down 2 times. We were all laughing so hard and got soaked but loved every second of it. We sure have some brave kids. It was a great mini vacation. If you are looking for a place to go that is not too far, I would highly recommend going to Lava!

Kindergarten!

Kinlee started her first day of kindergarten last week on August 2nd. I thought I would cry but surprisingly I didn't. She was a little nervous waiting in line to go in, but then got a big grin on her face as she walked through the doors. I love her school so far and think Kinlee will make new friends very easily. Her teacher said she is very bright and well beyond where she needs to be entering kindergarten. Here's to a fun year!
