Adventure is out there!

We love our Provo Rocks T-shirts!
 Since before my birth my family has been going to Lava Hot Springs every year. I haven't been able to go for the last five years (Thanks to DC, school, work, accounting, and soccer--yikes), I was thrilled when I found out I would finally be able to make the trip this year.

Lava is a little town in Idaho with natural hot springs! When we run the river we find hot springs that are so hot we can't go near them within the cold river. It is pretty neat stuff. Every year I get a kick out of the "COLOR TV" sign. I hope they never take it down. Also, they have the coolest pool I've ever been to. Have you seen this hilarious video? Its the same one.
                              



After spending a night in Lava we drove up to Snake river to raft down the rapids. SO FUN! It poured on us the first day I actually enjoyed it. I was able to get my "summer camping" in because we spent the night in tents next to the river. ALSO I GOT MY SMORE---I have been wanting that smore all summer long.

On our last day in Wyoming we went down snake river again and had a blast playing in the rapids.

It is safe to say I am really enjoying summer :)

PS: This is a really, fun cheap trip that I recommend. Lava is less than three hours north of Provo. This is our agenda each year--->
-Meet at the pool in lava, have lunch and play around
-Play volleyball
-eat dinner
-go to the hot pots
-play games and sleep
-run the Lava river in the morning
TRAVEL to Wyoming (about an hour and a half north)
-Run the snake river
-set up camp, sit around fire and eat dinner
-sleep
-run the snake river and spend time playing in the rapids.
