Lava Hot Springs... Family Reunion



Every year we have a family reunion in August at Lava Hot Springs with my dad's family. We look forward to this all year, we get to finally catch up with all our family that we often only get to see once a year. My most favorite part of the whole trip is getting to see my grandma and grandpa. I love these two so much, and since they live in Idaho, I don't get to see them near as much as I wish. They are both in their 90's so time is precious, I'm so grateful to them and love them so much. They absolutely adore Taiya, and I hope that they hang in there long enough that she can be old enough to remember them. But just to make sure, I took an extra lot of pictures.

We have a blast with our cousins swimming, tubing down the river, going to the hot pools at night, and just catching up.

Last days of summer... end of { August }

We took advantage of the last few weeks in August... lots of water, sun, and fun. Taiya loved her new spash pool that she got from grandma and grandpa thompson for her birthday.. and so did Aunt Lexi! Taiya also loved the swing set, and would even throw fits when ever it was time to stop swinging! Little miss independent wanted to go down the slide all by herself and even figured out how to climb several feet up the slide. This little girl never fails to amaze us...
