Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was really fun. We left for Lava Hot Springs Friday night with my dads fam. We got in late and went to bed. Saturday morning I went for a nice run then we got ready and went to the big Olympic size pool they have. The water was really warm. They had the platforms and i only dared to go off the second one. My little sister went off it with me and she is only 9 (she is such a daredevil). Rob took some really cool shots of Parker doing flips of the platforms too.
After we got a little with the wind we went over to the hot pots. They were so hot I couldn't put my whole body in it. But it felt really nice and the ground had a gravel on the bottom that felt cool. If you don't know what the hot pots are they are an all natural spring that they pump up from the ground it had a lot of minerals that are good for your skin. We all went back to the camp site for some good old fashion Smores. Rob is so funny with his little fire.
Sunday we just relaxed all day and ate. That afternoon we were going to tub down the river and as soon as they got there to rent the tubs the wind picked up a ton. So then we decided to bag the tubs and head to the hot pots again. On our way there we were walking and the wind was so fast it was sandblasting our legs with the dirt. We got there in one piece and it started raining pretty good but we were still able to get in the water luckily there wasn't lightning close. Sometimes it was too hot of water but too cold outside. It was still fun just hanging with the fam. After that we cleaned up and went back to pack and get ready. Only me and Rissa left that night. After packing we all went to eat dinner in the camper and play games. After dinner we celebrated Dad's 50Th, Robs, Randy's and Mckenzey's birthdays. As all this fun family activities were going on it was still raining and all of a sudden we here a big crack and the lights flicker. We went outside and a branch had hit the power pole and was on fire. It went out but every once and a while the branch would hit again and it made a big electric sound. The firemen came but couldn't do anything until the power guys got there about an hour later it hit big this time and a big flash of blue happened then it happened again about 10 minutes later and it was done I guess some box fell off it and there was no more. It was really cool I tried to get a picture of the blue but I didn't make it in time. We all went back to playing our games and then said goodbye and went home. PS Morgan kept making faces with Randy and this one was the best.
