Labor Day 2021


How are you now?
I am not so bad.
Thanks for asking.
How was the Labor Day weekend? 
Ours was pretty, pretty good.
We just spent a few days at a town that is quickly becoming my happy place, Lava Hot Springs.
It was a pleasant surprise last year when we visited so I was a little worried that I might not like it as much on our return visit. 
I was wrong. 
Loved it.
Even during a holiday weekend with a ton of people. 
We go karted, zip lined, obstacle coursed, foam pitted, hot pooled, shopped, gorged, floated, soaked, smiled, laughed, relaxed, and loved our time in Lava.
I am not sure what it is about Lava but I feel like I have a connection to the place.
It has happened a few times. 
Zion National Park, Alaska, the Pacific Ocean, Grand Tetons, Northern Idaho. 
Now I am going to let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
Take care, thanks for stopping by and I will talk to you soon.

P.S. Kyle and I both finished all three levels of the ropes course. I was impressed that I did it but I thought it was really awesome that Kyle did it all. He was a stud for sure. 




I am better than I was. I will be better than I am.


I will persevere. I will keep moving forward. I will be the stream.

  2. I can't remember ever seeing a foam pit. I looked them up and they are all over the place.

  3. Holy cow. You've got some fearless kids! PS: It seems as if they feel a connection to Lava Hot Springs too. Must be genetic!

    1. They are pretty fearless, Debby. However, Kyle has become more calculated in his risk taking as he has gotten older.

  4. Those look like some Wild West activities! I’ve never heard of a Foam Pit and I think it needs further explanation?

    1. They just hooked up a hose to a giant bubble machine and it produced sudsy bubbles for about an hour, Bijoux.

  7. I've been to Lava Hot Springs, stayed at the hotel by the springs once and don't remember much but soaking and dinner with friends whom we meet there.

  13. A place with no trees just looks like the dark side of the moon to me.

    1. There are trees, Ed. I am just a bad picture taker.

  14. Hey this looks like so much fun!! I want to go there too!

  15. What a joy to get away and do all those activities! I'm not good with heights so several of them I would eschew. I do love the foam pit though; it's exactly my speed. :)
